Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to fan assisted 160C / 180C / 350F / gas 4.

  2. Line and grease two 20 cm cake tins.

  3. Toast the hazelnut in the oven for 5 mins, then remove from the oven and let them cool. Rub off most of their skins and whizz in a food processor into hazelnut flour.

  4. Transfer the hazelnut flour into a large bowl and sift in the spelt flour and baking powder. Then add in all the other cake ingredients and beat using an electric hand whisk or a stand mixer. Do not over mix the cake batter.

  5. Divide the cake batter evenly between the 2 cake tins, level the tops with a spoon and bake for about 25 mins or until cakes are golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Chef's Notes

Basic hazelnut sponge from Love Bake Nourish.[br]Keep an eye on the hazelnuts when you are whizzing them up so that they don't turn into nut butter.
