Ingredients (6 servings)
2 Large eggs, room temperature
150 g Granulated sugar
Pulp of 1 vanilla pod, alternatively 1 pkg. vanilla sugar
200 ml Mascarpone, room temperature
50 g Butter, melted
120 g Wheat flour, universal
80 g Hazelnut flour (alternatively: 80 g whole hazelnuts with shell, finely ground)
1 packet Baking powder (16 g)
80 g Hazelnuts, chopped (for the surface)
3 tablespoon(s) Dark chocolate, chopped (alternatively chocolate drops)
  • Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla for about 1 minute until frothy. Then add the mascarpone and continue beating on a low speed until the mixture is smooth.
  • Then add the melted butter. Then add the flour, hazelnut flour and baking powder all at once and stir in slowly until a homogeneous dough is formed.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased and floured springform pan with a diameter of 22 to 24 centimeters.
  • For the garnish, mix the chopped hazelnuts with the chocolate and sprinkle evenly over the surface of the pastry.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (top/bottom heat) for approx. 35 minutes until the cake has risen nicely and no more dough sticks when tested with a skewer.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and leave to cool outside the tin for at least 1 hour before cutting.
