Print Recipe
Chocolate Ganache (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
Grease and line an 8 inch spring form cake pan with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl over simmering water (Bain Marie). Or you could zap it in the microwave.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks together with the vanilla.
Add the chocolate mixture, then add the hazelnut flour, salt and the monk fruit sweetener.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks with an electric whisk.
Add ¼ of the egg white mixture to the chocolate mixture and fold in gently.
Fold the remaining egg whites into the mixture.
Pour into the cake tin and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until firm.
Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove from the cake tin and cool on a wire rack.
Make the ganache
Place the chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl.
Heat the cream in a pan on a medium heat until it is just simmering.
Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
Stir until you have a smooth mixture.
Spoon or pour over the chocolate hazelnut ganache and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
