Piedmont HAZELNUT-CHOCOLATE CAKE

Here comes the most juicy&fluffy hazelnut-chocolate cake ever. With almost no flour, just 1 tbsp. But fair to say this works only with roasted hazelnuts from Piedmont. What a difference in quality to normal hazelnuts from the supermarket.

I love this with dessert wines. It complements rather than competes with them. I usually reduce the sugar from the recipe somewhat so it marries even better with sweet wine.

FYI, Turkish hazelnuts are even better!

I assume the chocolate used is unsweetened?

In the recipe I use, it’s unsweetened baker’s chocolate.

Normally I use a chocolate from Valrhona made extra for baking. In this recipe I used a bitter chocolate. Both have a high cocoa percentage. I guess it is unsweetened

I prefer it to eat it in the morning with coffee. Certainly also some Cava or Spumante would be nice.

P.S. even on Day 2 such juicy and fluffy. DELICIOUS
