AMARETTO CAKE
An alternative to the popular lemon drizzle cake - everybody who has tried it loves it. You can add more amaretto than is in the recipe depending on how strong you like it - sometimes I just slosh direct from the bottle into the mix. If you want to change this to lemon drizzle, just replace the amaretto in the cake with the zest...
