Hazelnut and cocoa cake, anyone? If your answer is positive, then prepare the base by adding cocoa powder to the mixture. This cake has only one layer on top, but that layer is made with beaten egg cream sweetened and mixed with crumbled hazelnuts. We used one cup of those, but who’s stopping you from adding more?
