Amaretto Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir brown sugar and amaretto into melted butter. Cook and stir butter mixture until sugar dissolves completely and mixture comes to a boil, about 10 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Add the brown sugar and amaretto to a small pan. Heat under a low to medium heat on the stovetop until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat to low. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Mix until completely combined. Remove from heat and drizzle over pastry, bread, or cake immediately.

Steps:

• 1. In a saucepan, stir together brown sugar, honey and orange juice.
• 2. Simmer, stir frequently until sugar dissolves and glaze thickens.
• 3. Remove from heat, stir in Amaretto.
• 4. Place breads or cake on a rack which is placed over a rimmed pan to catch drips. You will use the glaze again.
• 5. Pour glaze over breads or cake. Whatever drips off, pour over bread or cake again.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
• In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, instant vanilla pudding, water, oil, almond extract, and 2 tablespoons of the amaretto; blend together well. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and while it is still warm, poke holes in the surface. Drizzle with the Amaretto Glaze, insuring that some of the glaze fills the holes. Let the cake cool for at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
• To make Amaretto Glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar, and combine it with the remaining 1/2 cup amaretto. Blend until smooth. You may add more amaretto as needed.

Steps:

• Combine water and sugars in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the mixture is boiling, and all of the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
• Stir vodka, almond extract and vanilla extract into the mixture. Store in a sealed bottle.
