Ingredients

Servings

For the cake:

  • 300 g brown sugar
  • 240 g plain flour all purpose
  • 130 g butter unslated, roughly chopped
  • 240 ml cream thickened
  • 2 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 200 g hazelnut roasted

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 200 g dark chocolate cooking chocolate - 70% min. chopped into small pieces
  • 250 ml cream pouring

Instructions

  1. Pre heat your oven to 180 deg C and grease and line a 23cm spring form cake tin
  2. In a food processor combine the sugar, flour and butter. Proceed to pulse the mixture until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Spread one third of this mixture into the bottom of the cake tin.
  4. In a separate bowl whisk together the cream, eggs and baking powder. Fold in the remaining flour mixture and stir until well combined.
  5. Pour into the cake tin and top with ¾ of the roasted hazelnut mixture
  6. Bake for 40-50 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle part of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Whilst the cake is cooling make the ganache by heating your cream in a heavy based saucepan until it starts to boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Allow to cool a little (or a lot, if you prefer it thicker) and pour over the cake. Top with more hazelnuts.
  8. Serve with Greek yoghurt.
