Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, pour the melted butter, sugar (you can also use white if preferred), a pinch of salt, and the dark chocolate in pieces.

    Using a fork or a spatula, give it a first mix.

    Incorporate the dry ingredients, the baking powder, flour, and almond flour.

    I prefer to buy whole almonds and use my chopper to make the flour.

    Do what is most convenient for you.

    Mix all the ingredients well (you can also watch the video linked above).

    Butter and flour the pound cake mold.

    After pouring the mixture, add the jam on top and gently swirl with the teaspoon.

  • Turn on the oven to static mode, 350°F, and once it’s at temperature, bake for about 33 minutes.

    Before stopping the cooking, always do the toothpick test for the final check.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
