How to Make Toasted Pound Cake With Mascarpone And Amaretto

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange pound cake slices on a large baking sheet.
Toast in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Alternatively, toast slices in a toaster until golden brown.
In a small bowl, gently combine apricot preserves and amaretto until well blended.
Place one pound cake slice on each of six plates.
Top each slice with a spoonful of softened mascarpone cheese.
Arrange a second pound cake slice on top of each, slightly offsetting it from the bottom slice.
Spoon the apricot-amaretto mixture evenly over the top layer of each cake.
Sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
