Ingredients for the Cake
1 stick + 4 tbsp. of softened unsalted butter (or ¾ c.) ($1.80)
1 cup white sugar (.50)
3 eggs (lightly beaten) (.48)
1 ¾ c. all-purpose flour (sifted) (.60)

1 ½ tsp. Amaretto Disaronno ($1.00)
¾ c. evaporated milk (.70)

½ c. water (0)
½ c. white sugar (.50)
1 tbsp. Godiva Chocolate liqueur ($1.00)
 
Directions:
  • Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Grease a loaf mold or cover with parchment paper so it won’t stick and easy pull when done.
  • Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder.
  • To start making the cake, cream the butter and sugar until the batter looks a light color.
  • Wisk the eggs and add them to the mixer, on a low-speed, small amounts at a time.
  • Add the Vanilla Extract and Amaretto.
  • Add half the evaporated milk with half of the flour, keeping the mixer on a slow speed. Once combined, add the remaining milk and flour until all is combined. Do not over beat.
  • Transfer the cake batter to the greased or paper lined loaf mold, tap in the counter few times to remove any bubbles. 
  • Place in the oven for 1 hr. (remember, ovens temperature varies, so check after 1 hr.)
  • When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow to cool before transferring it to a plate.
  • Prepare the syrup by adding water to the sugar in a saucepan and bringing it to a light boil. Continue until it begins to become a bit thick, remove from the heat and drizzle the Godiva simple syrup all over the cake until it absorbs it all., however, in small amounts at a time.
 
Finally, you can eat my pound cake as is with a cup of coffee or tea, or you can serve it as dessert with the ice cream of your choice, or you can sprinkle powder sugar all over or finally, you could prepare a powder sugar vanilla glaze and drizzle it all over. Delish!
