Calories 900kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g butter 1 cup
- 200 g sugar 1 cup
- 4 eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 250 g plain flour 2 cups
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 250 g ground hazelnuts 9 oz
- 125 ml milk ½ cup
- 150 g pack chocolate cake icing (5 oz) I had 200 g (7oz) and it was too much
Instructions
- In a cake mixer (or use your handmixer) mix the butter, salt, sugar and eggs to a nice thick fluffy, creamy consistency
- One by one mix in the flour, milk and hazelnuts.
- Grease a cake form (whatever form takes your fancy). Coat with breadcrumbs
- Bake at 180 degrees celcius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 45-60 minutes. I would poke the cake after 45 minutes with a cocktail stick or fork to check if the tip comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool down. In the meantime heat the chocolate glaze according to packet instruction and then spread evenly on the cooled cake. Optional add some chopped hazelnuts for decoration.
