Ingredients Notes
125g butter at room temperature At room temperature it'll be easy to mix with the egg yolks!
4 egg yolks We need the egg whites, don't throw them away.
a dash of salt Beat until light yellow and foamy.
200g sugar
120g flour
200g ground hazelnuts Add to the yolks and butter.
50g whole hazelnuts Coarsely grind them yourself. Texture is important so don't overdo it.
½ pack of baking powder If you don't buy it in packs of around 16g, just use a teaspoon of baking powder. The cake is not supposed to be fluffy! Mix with the dough. This is when you use your hands to really get into it
150g good dark chocolate I like Crémant by Cailler; "cocoa solids: 46% minimum"; buy cheap chocolate and you deserve a cheap cake. Break it into little pieces and add to the dough.
4 egg whites Beat until stiff but not dry and carefully fold into the dough you already have. This looks tricky, but it's easy.
Pour into a baking pan that you greased with some butter. Don't forget that it will rise, so don't worry if it doesn't seem to fill the pan.

Steps:

  • The entire thing should have taken you half an hour, including doing the dishes. Bake at the bottom of your oven, 180°C, for anything between 30 and 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. In my oven it's around half an hour.
