Simply Sweet Cookbook: Lemon Pucker Cake

[wadesgirl]

I'm making the Lemon Pucker Cake from the Simply Sweet Cookbook tomorrow. The first step says to use dry bread crumbs to line the pan. Is there a good substitute if I don't have bread crumbs? I have 100% whole wheat bread I could put in the food processor if I need to but wanted to check.

It also call for 2/3 cup of blanched almonds which you grind up to make almond flour. I already have almond flour, does anyone know how much almond flour I should use for this?

TIA!

First, if you have almond flour, I would use that to line the pan.

Second...Do you have a kitchen scale and some almonds? If you do, what I would do is weigh the 2/3 cup of almonds, and then use that same weight in almond flour.

(I use LOTS of almond flour at my house!)

Ooh, I like that idea better than lining with with bread crumbs. I don't have a kitchen scale though, sold my in earlier this year. I'll just do from whole almonds and not worry about it.
