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