Yeah, yeah, I know, there are zillions of chocolatecakes on Zaar. This one though I remember from my youth in Sweden. Gooey, rich. What makes it Swedish? Maybe the hazelnuts. Why it is called Professor's? No idea, what's in a name?

CHOCOLATECAKE

a few years ago my son wanted a chocolatecake for his birthday, so in the weeks ahead I tried several recipes, and this one was the winner :) I even make it for friends for birthdays, so I reckon that's a good sign. The recipe comes from a childrens cookbook and is easy to make. book: Alison Holst's Step by Step cooking for beginners of all ages.
