Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
- Generously grease and flour a tube pan.
- You can also use a 9X5-inch loaf pan, a 9-inch springform pan, bundt or kugelhupf cake mold.
- Cake: In a bowl, cream the almond paste with sugar and butter.
- As the almond paste breaks up, add the vanilla, eggs and milk.
- Blend well and fold in the flour, salt, baking powder and cornstarch to make a thick but fluffy batter.
- If serving cake bottom side up, sprinkle the almonds into the bottom of the pan here.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the almonds on top, otherwise.
- Bake 50-55 minutes.
- The cake should be evenly golden brown and slightly cracked.
- When completely cool, dust with the confectioners' sugar, if using.
- Or, alternatively, poke holes into the top of the cake and drizzle on the Amaretto glaze.
- (I used the glaze, and then dusted confectioners' sugar on top.).
- Glaze: Stir together the water and sugar in a small saucepan.
- Set on low heat to dissolve the sugar.
- Stir in the liqueur, heat for 2-3 minutes more.
- Cool slightly.
- NOTE: You can replace the liqueur with an additional 1/4 cup water combined with 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

AMARETTO ALMOND CAKE
This was a cake I came up with in my bakery. At Christmas time we made this cake in sheet pans and torted it and carved it into a yule log. We then frosted it with amaretto mousse with ground almonds in it. It looks just like a birch log. They got decorated with pine boughs and meringue mushrooms. We did the chocolate yule logs...

AMARETTO-ALMOND POUND CAKE
My grandmother and great aunt always added almond flavoring to their pancakes. To this day, pound cake doesn't taste right to me without a bit of almond flavor. This recipe takes that to the next level. :)
