Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 150 g hazelnuts, ground
  • 65 g sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 50 ml white baking syrup (or glucose)
  • 100 g egg whites (about three)
  • Filling:
  • 200 ml cream (35-40% fat)
  • 350 g milk chocolate
  • 90 g butter
  • 1 tsp toffee essence - you can skip this, but in Sweden it can be ordered from Essence-fabriken

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 175°C. Mix all the ingredients for the cake in a bowl, and pour into a lined or buttered springform tin. (Mine is 24 cm, about 8,5 inches)

Bake for about 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.

Melt all the ingredients for the filling in a saucepan on low heat, and pour on top of the completely cooled cake. Place in the freezer to set for at least a few hours, or over night. Let it thaw before serving though, or it will be very hard to cut through.

Top with a few berries, and serve with some lightly whipped cream. If you want your edges to look better, line your tin with sturdy plastic before pouring in the filling.
