Recipe Notes
Amaretto Glaze:
* Can substitute 3 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon almond extract and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for liqueur to make appropriate for children and non-imbibers, but gently warm mixture of ingredients over low heat instead of boiling, stirring constantly until well blended. The liqueur in the cake batter will have had all its alcohol dissipate in the baking process.
