To prepare topping, weigh or lightly spoon 05 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/4 cup) into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.

Step 4

Place sugars and butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in sour cream, canola oil, and almond extract. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until blended. Stir in baking chips.
