How to make hazelnut cake:
A light sponge cake which uses cream rather than butter for the fat. Try and use a good quality chocolate as the decoration; the higher the cocoa solids content the better although make sure that it isn't too bitter for your tastes before you cover the cake.



Ingredients

2 eggs
4oz sugar
2 1/2 oz self-raising flour
1/4 pint single cream
2 1/2 oz ground hazelnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
melted dark chocolate to cover
quartered hazelnuts to decorate
(see measure conversions for more information)
