Why are chocolate cakes always a hit? Because they are always full of “hazelnuts”!

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 6).
2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie. Mix well until smooth.
3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture whitens.
4. Add the melted chocolate to the beaten eggs and mix.
5. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, mix until you get a smooth dough.
6. Add the chopped hazelnuts, then mix gently.
7. Pour the dough into a buttered and floured mold.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check the cooking by inserting a knife in the center: it should come out slightly moist.
9. Let cool before unmolding and enjoy!

Tip: For an even more intense taste, you can add a little vanilla or coffee extract to your mixture.
