Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 25 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Hazelnuts (toasted and roughly chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the base with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally to create a smooth mixture. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; the center should remain slightly fudgy.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Slice and serve to enjoy your Chocolate and Hazelnut Brownie Cake!
