Almond butter cake

This post may contain affiliate links. This Almond Amaretto Cake is almond butter cake must for any almond lover!

Almond cake layers infused with Amaretto liqueur paired with a classic vanilla buttercream. I was never a fan of almond flavored cakes. I found them strong and perfumey, and generally didn’t like the flavor — at least of the almond cakes I had tried in the past, which I’ll admit, was not many. As it turns out, what I don’t like about almond cake is the flavor of almond extract. From Classic Cakes to Holiday favorites and everything in between. Ryan and I were in London this June visiting family, and Ryan’s stepmother, Carol, suggested we try this famous chocolate and cake boutique called Choccywoccydoodah. I had never heard of it before, but there was no need to twist my arm — chocolate AND cake?

The name is crazy and the creations in the shop are even more so. It is amazing what they can do with chocolate! They have this little cafe on the upper level of the shop, so naturally we had to stop in and sample. We hadn’t even had lunch yet, but we were all pretty okay going straight to the dessert. Naturally, wanting to sample everything, I got this over-the-top 5 layer cake where each layer was different.
