Nut Cake Stockholm

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 6 eggs
• 250 g sugar
• 1 vanilla sugar
• 400 g hazelnuts, ground
• 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
• 2 tsp baking powder
• powdered sugar
• some lemon juice

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

Whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon juice. Mix the nuts, breadcrumbs, and baking powder, add to the mixture, and mix well. Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (top/bottom heat) for approximately 55–65 minutes. Turn the baked cake out onto a wire rack (or, after a short cooling time, onto a cake plate) and remove the baking paper. Mix a thick glaze from the powdered sugar and lemon juice, spoon it over the cake, and spread it all over with a knife (at Christmas time, you might want to add a little cinnamon to the glaze). Tip: The best way to line the loaf pan is to place the bottom of the pan on a piece of baking paper and mark the corners. Then cut into each corner up to the corners, place it in the pan, and press the corners down so that they overlap.
