I mailed this Limoncello Bundt Cake to my in-laws for their Christmas celebration. They said it arrived perfectly intact and tasted fabulous.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 00 minute
Ingredients:
- 18 ounce white cake mix
- 4 serving-sized instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup limoncello (lemon-flavored liqueur), divided
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup lightly toasted sliced almonds
Preparation:
Preheat oven 325 degrees F. Grease and flour 12-cup Bundt cake pan. Combine cake and pudding mixes with eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil and 1/2 cup limoncello. Mix with electric mixer for at least 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool in pan for 20 minutes. Finish cooling on wire rack.

Immediately sprinkle almonds in top of cake. Store in an airtight container.
