Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 1 (18.25 ounces / 517 grams) package yellow cake mix
- 1 (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 eggs
Liquids:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
- 1/2 cup water
Extras:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 325°F and coat a 10-inch bundt pan with grease and flour for optimal cake release.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and amaretto using a low-speed setting for one minute, then increase to medium speed and continue mixing for an additional two minutes until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Delicately fold white chocolate chips into the cake batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the prepared batter into the greased bundt pan, carefully smoothing the surface to create an even layer.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, monitoring the cake’s doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean when the cake is fully baked.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, which helps prevent breaking when removing.
- Gently transfer the cake from the bundt pan to a wire cooling rack, letting it cool completely before serving or decorating.
Notes
- Boost moisture by adding an extra tablespoon of milk for a softer, more tender cake texture.
- Substitute amaretto with almond extract for a non-alcoholic version that maintains the delicate flavor profile.
- Toast white chocolate chips briefly before folding into batter to enhance their nutty, caramelized undertones and prevent sinking.
- Cool cake completely before glazing to prevent runny, transparent icing and ensure a smooth, beautiful finish.
