This homemade Amaretto Pound Cake has lots of almond flavor from both Amaretto and almond extract. It’s buttery, moist, and sweet and I love to serve it slightly warmed with fresh whipped cream and a few sliced strawberries.

 
If you grew up in the south, you’ve no doubt eaten many pound cakes. My grandmother always had one when we visited her. She didn’t bake, but friends were always bringing them to her.
One of the most wonderful things about pound cake is it can feed a lot of people and it freezes really well. I’ll typically freeze half of it. Then I have something to share if I have unexpected guests.

 
When it comes to pound cakes, you can’t beat this Amaretto Pound Cake. It is fantastically delicious! It has plenty of almond flavor, but it is not overpowering. Tips for making Pound Cake.

For maximum volume, start with room temperature ingredients.
Cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. This can take anywhere from 3 to 7 minutes.
Once the eggs are added, beat as little as possible. Just long enough to get the flour mixed in.
Make sure your Bundt pan is greased very well.
