Almond Flour:
Using almond flour here helps tenderize the cake and keeps it moist. If you do not have it, you can substitute with the same amount of all purpose flour, but the texture will be slightly different.

Doneness:
Ovens vary, so check your loaf around the 45 minute mark. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the loaf is done.

Serving Suggestions:
This is delightful served plain, but you can elevate it with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple chocolate glaze.

Chocolate Almond Tea Loaf
Anthology of Crumbs
This lovely loaf blurs the lines between a simple cake and a rich, moist quick bread. The combination of all purpose flour and delicate almond flour ensures a supremely tender crumb, while the cocoa powder and chocolate chips deliver a deep, comforting chocolate flavour. It is beautiful sliced simply for a tea time treat or warmed and topped with a scoop of ice cream for dessert.
