Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175C/160C Fan). Grease and flour a springform cake pan.
- For your cake, cream together butter and sugar. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and add the sour cream and amaretto.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add this to your wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix your streusel ingredients together until it is a crumbly texture.
- Pour half of your cake batter into your prepared tin, cover this with a layer of the streusel (about ½ of it). Then add the rest of your cake batter and top with the remaining streusel mix.
- Bake this for about an hour, until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for about 30 minutes before glazing.
- When time to glaze, release the cake from the springform pan. In a small bowl, mix together your powdered sugar and Amaretto. Drizzle this across the top.
Notes
- For the glaze, unlike the cake batter, the Amaretto will not be baked and the alcohol will not cook out. This means the Amaretto gives a bit of a boozy punch. If you want to leave out the alcohol, you can substitute the Amaretto with a half teaspoon of almond extract and a tablespoon of milk. You may need a bit more milk to reach your desired drizzling consistency, but add this a little at a time until you are happy with it.
