Ingredients
 

The batter:

  • 200 g Butter
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 5 Eggs
  • 200 g Wheat flour
  • 200 g Ground hazelnuts
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa powder for baking
  • 1 pinch Ground cloves
  • 1 pinch Ground cinnamon
  • 6 g Natural orange peel flavor, e.g. by Dr. Oet ....
  • 50 ml Freshly brewed, cooled coffee
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 50 g Chocolate droplets

The cast:

  • 3,5 tbsp Freshly brewed, cooled coffee
  • 150 g Finely sifted powdered sugar

Aside from that:

  • Some fat for the shape
  • Some flour for the mold

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder, cocoa, clove powder, cinnamon and orange peel aroma well in a bowl. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Mix the coffee and milk. Grease a loaf tin (30 cm) thinly and sprinkle with a little flour. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (top and bottom heat).
  • Put the butter, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl and beat until frothy with the mixer on the highest setting. Gradually stir in the eggs.
  • In the next step, alternate the coffee-milk mixture with the nut-flour mixture in the bowl and stir everything until a thick batter is formed. Finally, carefully pull the chocolate droplets under the dough.
  • Bake in the oven for about 80 to 85 minutes, then test with a wooden stick whether the cake is already baked through (if no dough remains stick to the stick, the cake is ready). Then take it out of the oven and let it rest in the mold for about 20 minutes. Then remove from the mold and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • When the cake has cooled down, stir the powdered sugar into the coffee. Spread the icing thickly on the cake and let it dry. Then cut open and serve.
  • Note 6: Unfortunately, the surface of the cake is a bit cracked, but that didn't affect the taste. Next time I will cut the cake lengthways after 15-20 minutes of baking time. Despite the long baking time, the cake is very juicy and fluffy, and the batter is almost like a chocolate tart. Despite all the hip gold, a cake to enjoy :-))). Have fun baking!
