Absolutely delicious. I had to substitute lemon zest and cognac because those are items I had in stock. Served it with fresh rasberries. It's light and luscious. Another Giada winner.

This cake was so good! This was my first time making pound cake, and after going through many recipes I ended up choosing this one. I'm so glad that I did. The cake is incredibly moist and the flavors of almond and orange together are great. I didn't have any Amaretto on hand, so I used 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract and 2 tbsp orange juice. I also reduced the sugar to 1 cup, and the sweetness was perfect. I will defintely make this again!

LISTEN, you MUST try this orange cake. I couldn't stop eating this. I did not have amaretto on hand so I used orange extract in the cake and I made an orange glaze to go with, made of powdered sugar, milk and orange extract. YUMMO!!

I have made this cake many times and it's always been a big hit. I have flavored it several different ways depending on what I have on hand. So far the favorite has been using coconut flavored rum with lime zest to give it a tropical feel.

Unfortunately, my house has no Amaretto - I ended up replacing that with some Caribbean Rum the first time I made this cake. STILL delicious (I had to consider it for awhile until my dad told me that the alcohol basically boils off in the oven, I'm a minor haha. I made this cake again about a week ago, this time replacing the Amaretto with almond extract (which I hadn't had before, and brought it to school to share with my friends. They legitimately DEVOURED it all. One of them absolutely DEMANDED I make it in chocolate, so I just started making it again tonight, to bring in tomorrow, after adding 3/4 cup of hershey's special dark chocolate syrup. Just the batter tastes AMAZING! Great recipe, I personally haven't found anything wrong with it!

I love it!! My husband, son and I, ate a piece when was still warm. I made it in a round cake pan. I added 2 1/2 tablespoon of Amaretto, instead of 2. Delicious. If was done at 65 minutes. I will make again. Thank you.

Amazing! The only change I made was to substitute 1/2tsp pure almond extract and 2 tbs Cointreau for the Amaretto (which I didn't have. Everything else I did EXACTLY the same for the cake. My cook time was right at 50 minutes.
Get cake flour, it will make a difference. NOT AP flour! And note that the recipe says Kosher salt, but in her video she uses regular table salt.
I agree with other reviewers, it was the right amount of sweetness. Not too sweet. And the consistency was perfect! I love the hints of orange with the zest and Cointreau. It wasn't too much. It got rave reviews! Definitely a special occasion treat, when you consider the amount of butter/sugar/cheese. But worth every bite!!!
Perfect for dessert or a tea party!
