Decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Cake

I tried this recipe only once but I got complimented by a chocoholic. I guess you can give it a try and tell me if is is worth it!


Sorry I need to make it again!
Ingredients for 12 people:
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts
- 6 oz dark chocolate (170 g)
- 1 stick butter (100 g)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 5 eggs
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
--
topping: 4 oz dark chocolate melted with 0.5 cup of liquid cream



1) toast the hazelnuts so you can easily remove the skin and the flavor will be enhanced.
2) ground the hazelnuts with 2 Tbsp of  sugar
3) melt the chocolate and the butter
4) mix 2 and 3 together
5) add the yolks, the cocoa and the flour
6) beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt and the sugar
7) fold the white into 5
8) bake for ~40 min
9) once the cake is cooled, pour the topping.


VoilĂ !
