Pound cake
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. As often happens, there are practically no identical recipes for one and the same dish. This loaf cake is no exception. And while the ingredient list for the batter is almost the same in other versions, the cake is decorated in different ways. Some suggest, in the full sense of the word, studding the finished bake with unblanched almonds. I prefer a gentler option: I drizzled the cake with melted chocolate and sprinkled it with almond flakes. It turned out both beautiful and delicious.
