In a large bowl, combine cake mix, sour cream, ½ cup amaretto, ½ cup water, eggs and 2 egg-yolks at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at high speed.

Pour batter into pan.

Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 55 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool upright in pan for 10 minutes; loosen sides and invert onto serving plate.

Cool completely.

In a small bowl, blend powdered sugar, cocoa, 2 Tb amaretto, butter, corn syrup and 2 to 4 teaspoon water until of desired spreading consistency.

Spoon over top of cake, allowing some to run down sides.

I have this original recipe from years ago - I remember it was a $15,000 winner in some contest - will post when I get a chance.

Pillsbury bake off prize winner. Just found it in an old pillsbury winning recipes cookbook. Problem is I'm in Canada and we dont have Pillsbury cake mixes. I was wondering if I could use Duncan Hines.
