Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
– 2 cups whole milk
– 4 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the amaretto liqueur, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
5. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the baked crust in the baking dish.
6. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
7. Once baked, remove the Amaretto Custard Cake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set completely.
8. Before serving, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.
Slice the cake into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the luscious combination of flavors in every bite of this indulgent dessert.
