This is a recipe from my cousin Antonia, who is a very good cook!
It does work best made in a cake tin with a hole in the middle, as the mixture is very dense. If the cake starts to get too brown during the cooking, cover the top with a piece of foil. It is soft, moist, and full of delicious almond flavour and is real hit at HH&Co Afternoon Tea!
Amaretto is a sweet almond flavoured liqueur, predominantly associated with Saronno, Italy. Often made with almonds, or apricot kernels, the name is a derived from the combo of Saronno itself and the Italian word 'amaro' meaning bitter, due to the use of the bitter almonds, though these are often combined with sweeter almonds, making it much more palatable!
