A delightfully decadent dessert, this chocolate chip amaretto cake is super soft and tender and is bursting with almond flavors from both the almond paste and amaretto creamer.
I used to be terrified of bundt cakes. Yeast bread? Bring it on! 3 layer cake? Piece of cake! Bundt cake? How about cookies or cheesecake instead? It felt so intimidating!
Of course things have changed in the last couple of years. I rarely find something intimidating (unless we’re talking homemade caramel) and this chocolate chip amaretto cake is a breeze to make.
You can pretty much whip it up while waiting for your oven to heat up. It really doesn’t require more prep time than that!
I’ve been craving all things Italian flavored ever since we decided to work towards spending the next summer in Sicily.
Although pasta dishes and pizza are always on the menu around here, this time I wanted a piece of Italy that’s not savory. Tiramisu came first to mind, but I’ve done that already. Panna cotta – not exactly my type. Biscotti? Now we’re talking!
Unfortunately my biscotti disappeared into thin air before I had a chance of taking pictures of them and although on rare occasions I make the same recipe twice in one week, a container of Amaretto creamer grabbed my attention before I decided to make another batch of biscotti.
You can thank me now or later, but you’ll be so happy I went ahead and make this chocolate chip amaretto cake!
It’s like the best pound cake infused with almond flavors and on top of that is chock full with mini chocolate chips. 
To give the cake a fancy look, I drizzled some icing over it and sprinkled some chocolate flakes. It’s totally optional. I’m sure even without the fancy look, this cake will go gone before you know it.
To make this cake, you have to make sure you got the right ingredients. Pretty much like other pound cakes you need butter, sugar, eggs, flour. In addition to that you need International Delight Amaretto coffee creamer, greek yogurt and almond paste. Make sure it’s almond paste not marzipan!
Almond paste is made from ground almonds and sugar in equal quantities. You’ll most likely find it in the baking isle at your grocery store.
