Easy Amerato Cake with an Almond Buttercream Frosting

This cake is full of flavor, I love the taste of Amerato and putting it in a cake is heaven! Topped off with a creamy almond butter cream, it doesn't get much better. But wait, here is my secret, this cake starts off with a box. Yep you heard me right, read on for the full recipe.

1 box white cake mix

3 eggs

1 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil 

1 package instant vanilla pudding mix

2 tbs Amerato liquor 

In a mixing bowl combine all of the ingredients until the batter is creamy and smooth.

Grease a round cake pan and pour in the cake batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes until the cake is cooled through.

Cool the cake on a wire rack.

For the frosting 

2 sticks softened butter 

4 cups powdered sugar 

1 tsp almond extract 

2 tbs heavy cream

Beat the butter until creamy, add the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth. Once the cake has cooled transfer to a cake plate and frost the cake. I garnished with some sprinkles around the edge and fresh blackberries in the middle.
