As a lover of hazelnuts and chocolate, I just had to love this recipe. Of course, I'm not bragging, but I admit this cake surprised me A LOT in a positive way! A beautiful hazelnut cake with dark chocolate topping and hazelnuts, it's divine, addictive, and super easy! Will you give it a try?
Why you'll love this recipe?
- First, the recipe requires very few ingredients, making it really easy to prepare.
- Another amazing thing about this cake is that it's made with very easy-to-find ingredients. It's highly likely that you already have most of them at home.
- The recipe is very versatile, as you'll see below!
For this magnificent cake, you will need:
- Eggs
- Plant-based milk or regular milk
- Coconut suga
- Hazelnuts
- Whole wheat flou
- Coconut flour
- Baking powder
What if I don’t have hazelnuts?
As I mentioned, this recipe is VERY versatile, meaning you can substitute the hazelnuts with any other nuts you prefer, such as almonds, peanuts, or walnuts. And you'll end up with a cake made from that nut, which is fantastic, don't you think?
Do I need coconut flour?
Honestly, I love coconut flour, as those who have followed me for some time may have noticed, but of course, it’s not mandatory. I usually use it to thicken the batter without adding too much flour. For example, if I use 30g of coconut flour to thicken a recipe, you'd need to substitute it with double the amount of another flour, like whole wheat or oat flour. Keep in mind that different flours have varying densities, so be aware of that when making substitutions.
What other flour can I use besides whole wheat flour?
You can use, for example, rye flour or oat flour. You can even make oat flour at home by finely grinding oat flakes!
I don’t have coconut sugar, what can I use?
You can use any sweetener of your choice, even stevia, which will significantly reduce the cake’s calories. If you use a liquid sugar, like honey, be aware that it might make the cake batter more liquid.
