Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups cake flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup bourbon

1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup tube pan (such as Bundt(R)).
2
Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla bean paste and almond extract and mix in.
3
Whisk the sifted cake flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add flour mixture to the bowl with the butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with amaretto and sour cream.
4
Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the prepared tube pan. Pour batter on top.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes; turn it out onto a wire rack to cool another 15 minutes.
6
Use a toothpick or the tines of a fork to poke holes around the top of the cake and spoon bourbon over the cake. Cool another 15 minutes and transfer cake to a serving plate.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
