Hazelnut Cake
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas,
- about 225 grams of hazelnuts,
- 2 eggs,
- 340 grams of plain flour,
- 100 grams of butter,
- 140 grams of sugar,
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder,
- 1 package of vanilla sugar.
Preparation Method:
- Crack the eggs and mix them with the vanilla sugar and half of the white sugar.
- Peel the bananas, cut them into smaller pieces, and add to the mixture.
- Mix again. Reduce the speed and gradually add the flour. Finally, mix in the baking powder.
- Chop the nuts, but not too finely.
- In a pan, heat the butter, add the sugar, and stir until the mixture caramelises. Now add the chopped hazelnuts. Keep the mixture on the pan a while longer, then remove it from the heat.
- Line a baking tin with parchment paper. Pour half of the prepared batter into it. Then add a "layer" of caramelised nuts, followed by more batter and nuts once more.
- Place the tin in the oven, preheated to 180°C, and bake for about 40 minutes. The hazelnut cake will be ready after this time. Enjoy!
