Hazelnut cake (gluten free)


Hazelnut cake (gluten free)

13 November 2020

Today I share with you the recipe of a very simple cake that requires only 4 ingredients, or 5 if you choose like me to fill it with the spread of your choice. On top of that it is gluten free, no added fat, but still ultra gourmet with a very pronounced taste of hazelnut. I used homemade hazelnut powder, made from previously roasted hazelnuts; keep in mind that the more taste your hazelnut powder has, the better your cake will be. I garnished it before baking with a some chocolate & hazelnut spread (I chose the nocciolata) but it is optional, if you like hazelnut you will already be satisfied with the cake ;)
