Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 7 m.-sized eggs
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1 packet of vanilla sugar
  • 150 g hazelnuts, ground
  • 25 g flour
  • 1 tsp, leveled baking powder
  • 150 g butter
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 2 medium-sized egg yolks
  • 100 g dark chocolate

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

For 12 pieces

Dough: Crumble the chocolate and melt it over low heat in a bain-marie. Beat the eggs on high for 1 minute. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla sugar to the eggs while stirring, then beat for another 2 minutes. Briefly stir in the melted, slightly cooled chocolate, hazelnuts, and the baking powder mixed with the flour on the lowest setting. Pour the dough into a springform pan (approx. 24 cm) lined with baking paper and immediately bake in the oven at 150-175 degrees Celsius for approx. 40-50 minutes. Allow the base to cool thoroughly. Cream: Beat the butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy, then beat in 2 egg yolks. Finally, stir in the melted, not too warm, chocolate. Cut the cake base in half, spread with cream, place the second half on top, also spread with cream, and decorate as desired, e.g. with Smarties. Tip: The hazelnuts can also be replaced with the same amount of flour.
