Description
A delightful Egyptian Hazelnut Cake that is rich in flavor and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and finely ground
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider folding in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or dried fruit into the batter before baking.
- Serve the cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
