Cream the butter with sugar, salt, and vanilla sugar until fluffy, then gradually beat in the eggs vigorously. Add the hazelnuts, lemon and orange zest, or flavorings; add carefully; the cake should have a slight orange flavor, but the flavors shouldn’t overpower it. Sift the flour with the cornstarch and baking powder, then gradually add to the egg, butter, and sugar mixture. Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan and bake at 180-200 degrees Celsius for 40-50 minutes. Tip: This cake also works well with whole wheat flour, but only use 150g. The cake also bakes well in silicone molds; however, very delicate molds should still be greased and floured.
