Fun Facts

Almond flour is nothing more than peeled and finely ground almonds, it is excellent for giving desserts a rich flavor and soft texture. Adding lemon zest can help balance out the sweet taste with a pleasant citrus note. The chocolate chips may melt slightly during baking, creating tempting pockets of soft chocolate inside the bundt cake.
