Almond Bundt Cake from a BOX

ALMOND BUNDT CAKE 

I make this almond cake in so many different version.  But I usually decorate it all the same way. Depending on the different seasons....I would add different fruits to it. Some times I garnish with raspberry, blueberry or strawberry. All these fruits goes so well because of the tartness from the fruits goes so well with the almond and the sugary frosting ;) 

INGREDIENTS: 

1 box of WHITE cake mix

2 small box of instant VANILLA pudding 

1/2 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

1 1/4 cup of water

1 cup silvered almond

3 tablespoon almond extract

DIRECTIONS: 

PREHEAT oven to 350 and grease a BUNDT pan ...set aside

In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, pudding, ALMOND EXTRACT, vegetable oil, water and beat with an electric hand held mixer. Once the batter is nicely incorporated....FOLD in the cup of silvered ALMOND.  Pour battered into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. 

Let the cake rest while you make the frosting. 

FROSTING: 

1/2 stick of MELTED BUTTER 

2 Cup confection sugar

2 TABLESPOON almond extract 

(if the frosting is too thick ...add a splash of milk. If its too runny....add more confection slowly) 

In a mixing bowl combine the MELTED BUTTER, confection sugar and almond extract. Mix with an electric hand held mixer. Mix until its nice and creamy. I like it kinda runny so that I can drizzle over the cake....once the frosting cools it will thicken. So you have to work fast ;) 

DRIZZLE over the bundt cake and garnish with some more SILVERED ALMOND and some of your favorite fruits. 

ENJOY!!!!
