COLLEEN FORGUS' ALMOND BUTTER POUND CAKE

Serves 12
INGREDIENTS (CAKE)
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
1 cup buttermilk
INGREDIENTS (BERRIES)
1/2 pint blackberries
1/2 pint raspberries
1/2 pint blueberries
2 TBSP sugar
1/4 cup Amaretto
INGREDIENTS (TOPPING)
1 pint heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 TBSP vanilla bean paste
PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Generously grease and lightly flour (or spray with Baker's Joy) a Bundt pan. Tap out any excess flour.
2. Make the cake: Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping the bowl occasionally. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until moistened on low speed. Then beat at medium speed for about two minutes, scraping the bowl often. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes and remove from the pan. Cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with the berries and whipped cream.
4. Prepare the berries: While the cake is baking, in a medium bowl, combine the berries with the sugar and Amaretto and set aside.
5. Make the topping: Whip the cream until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla bean paste and whip until thick. Keep refrigerated until needed.
