Chocolate Hazelnut Cake Recipe
November 26, 2014
Here is a recipe of a great chocolate hazelnut cake that you, your friends and family will absolutely enjoy. It's stunningly delicious and a breeze to prepare. It is moist, not overly sweet, and packed with chocolate and hazelnut flavor.
This Chocolate Hazelnut Cake is dense and fudgy in all the right way. You can serve it warm from the oven, but I love to give it a finishing touch of a glossy chocolate glaze and some toasted hazelnuts to boot. Serve this up at any holiday gathering and there will be clean plates all round!
Chocolate Hazelnut Cake
Chop chocolate into small pieces. Place in small bowl over hot water to melt, stirring occasionally. Beat butter with half the sugar until soft and light. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Combine hazelnuts, bread crumbs and cinnamon and stir in. Whip egg whites. Beat in remaining sugar in slow stream and whip until firm peaks form. Stir 1/4 of whites into batter. Fold in rest with a rubber spatula. Pour batter into greased 10-inch cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350° until well risen and firm in center, about 45 minutes. Invert cake onto rack and cool a few minutes. Lift off pan and cool completely. If prepared in advance, wrap cake in plastic and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 1 month. Bring cake to room temperature before serving. |
