Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Grease and flour a bundt pan or a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Set the mixture aside for later use.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

1. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).

Step 4: Add Eggs and Extracts

1. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
2. Add the almond extract and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk and Amaretto liqueur.
2. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6: Pour Batter

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula and tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.

Step 7: Bake

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8: Prepare the Glaze

1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, Amaretto liqueur, and almond extract.
2. If the glaze is too thick, add milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 9: Glaze the Cake

1. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
2. Garnish with sliced almonds if desired.
