Gluten free Recipe!

I Haven't posted a gluten free recipe for a few days so today's one will be another delicious chocolate one (",)

Chocolate Hazelnut Cake

Serves 12
Preparation time: 15 Minutes
Cooking time: 40 Minutes

You will need:

250g blanched Hazelnuts
6eggs, separated
200g icing sugar
75g gluten free breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
grated rind and juice of 1 orange
75g better, melted

How to make it:

  • Grease and line a 23cm deep spring-form tin.Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven , 180'C for 10 minutes until golden. Allow to cool a little, then place in a food processor or liquidizer and whiz until they resemble fine breadcrumbs.
  • Place the egg whites in a large bowl and whisk until they form soft peaks. Add 2 tablespoons of the icing sugar and continue to whisk until thick.
  • Place the egg yolks in a separate bowl with the remaining icing sugar and whisk until pale. Fold the remaining ingredients, including the egg white, then transfer to the prepared tin. Place in the oven for 40 minutes, then remove the cakes from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
It is as easy as that (",)
