ITALIAN LEMON COFFEE CAKE
"Torta al limone," as this cake is known in Italy, is a recipe that I received from my husband's "Zia Pina". I modified her recipe to add the sliced almonds and powdered sugar glaze drizzle on top. This is a lovely cake that goes great with a cup of coffee or cappuccino!

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 6-cup, 7-1/2x3-inch Bundt® pan. Sprinkle almonds evenly around the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

TUSCAN-STYLE COFFEECAKE
This recipe is from The King Arthur Flour Company. I ordered the European-style artisan flour and it was on the back of the package. Very yummy. I am making it for the second time and, trust me, small slices will be very satisfying.
