### How to Make Almond Amaretto Pound Cake

#### 1. **Preheat & Prep**

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a Bundt or loaf pan thoroughly.

#### 2. **Cream the Butter & Sugar**

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy — about 4–5 minutes.

#### 3. **Add the Eggs**

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

#### 4. **Mix Dry Ingredients**

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

#### 5. **Combine Wet Ingredients**

In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the milk, vanilla, almond extract, and amaretto.

#### 6. **Alternate Mixing**

Add the dry and wet ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating between the two, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined — don’t overmix!

#### 7. **Bake**

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 65–75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

#### 8. **Cool & Serve**

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or top with a drizzle of amaretto glaze, and sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired.
