Hazelnut Cake
Yield: about 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chopped raw hazelnuts
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 7 egg yolks
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9 inch cake pan that has been lined with wax paper on the bottom. Dust lightly with flour.
- In a food processor, combine hazelnuts, sugar, butter, flour, baking powder, salt, pineapple and cinnamon, processing until blended.
- Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, making sure that each one is blended before the next one is added. The batter will be very thick.
