The Hazelnut Cake is a typical dessert from the Langhe tradition, our version of the “grandmother’s cake,” made with only hazelnut flour.

Here you have the procedure!

Ingredients

• 150 gr. of Hazelnut flour
• 50 gr. of Butter or Sunflowers seeds oil
• 3 eggs
• 150 gr. of Cane sugar
• 1 spoonful of Rhum

Preparation

Mix the sugar well with the butter or oil, using an electric whisk if necessary.

Add the egg yolks while continuing to mix, the tablespoon of rum, and finally the hazelnut flour.

Separately, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the mixture, stirring from the bottom up to avoid deflating them.

Bake at 175°C for 30 minutes, and voilà, you’re done!
