ALMOND COFFEE CAKE W/ AMARETTO GLAZE

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.
