Prep: 35 min | Servings: 12
Cake
Amaretto Cream
Strawberries
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.

*** Instead of the amaretto liqueur in the cake batter, you can use 1 tablespoon almond extract + enough water to equal 1/2 cup. In the amaretto cream, substitute 1 teaspoon almond extract + 1/4 cup whipping cream for the amaretto liqueur.
Some of the juice from the strawberry halves will soak into the frosting, so add the strawberry garnish just before serving.
A food processor makes quick work of grinding the almonds. For even grinding, scrape the sides and bottom of the food processor bowl occasionally.
