GLUTEN-FREE WALNUT AND CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE
Being gluten free for almost 6 months, it was difficult to find a good gluten-free pound cake, so I decided to give it a try. I was amazed how this cake turned out: moist, crumbly, and a lot of flavor. The secret to this is beating the egg whites until glossy and stiff, as well as the egg yolks, so the cake does not deflate while baking. Wrap well and store in the refrigerator.
