* While cake is warm - brush with about 1/4 cup of amaretto.

* Prepare frosting while cake cools completely.



Frosting Procedure

* Combine butter and cream in medium saucepan.

* Stir over medium-low heat until butter melts and mixture comes to simmer.

* Remove from heat.

* Add the 1-2 tablespoons amaretto.

* Cool a tad. About 5 minutes.
