Sunday Baking: Hazelnut Cake Experience

i found this recipe, searching for quick and easy cakes, via chefkoch.de. the recipe is originally for a blackberry cake but i sprinkled the batter with almonds instead of pressing blackberries into the top. i also added an additional cup (half soy milk, half water) of liquid because after following the instructions faithfully i ended up with a dough rather than a batter.

so here goes:

what:

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup of oil

1 cup of “milk”/water (or half half)

1 cup ground hazelnuts

1 pack vanilla sugar (ca. 5 teaspoons)

1 pack baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

handful of almond flakes

how:

preheat oven to 180 C/ 350F

mix together all ingredients and pour smooth batter into well greased form, sprinkle with almond flakes

bake for 45-50 minutes

let cool and have a slice with a big cup of coffee
