Hazelnut Torte
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a food processor, pulse 1 cup of hazelnuts until finely ground. In a small bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup of softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 egg yolks, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whip 1/2 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cooled torte.
- Warm 1/2 cup of chocolate hazelnut spread in the microwave for 30 seconds, then drizzle it over the whipped cream. Garnish with additional toasted hazelnuts if desired.
- Slice and serve the hazelnut torte, and enjoy!
