Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
• 1/4 cup milk
• For the bourbon soak:
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt cake pan.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
6. In a small bowl, combine the amaretto liqueur and milk.
7. Pour the amaretto mixture into the cake batter and mix until combined.
8. Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. While the cake is baking, prepare the bourbon soak. In a small saucepan, heat the bourbon and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
11. Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
12. Poke holes all over the cake with a skewer or toothpick.
13. Pour the bourbon soak over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
14. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
15. Serve and enjoy!
