The cake was amazing - nutty and rich in a way unlike anything else I've ever had. I can't find a recipe like it online. The unique thing about this recipe was that it called for some vastly ridiculous quantity of hazelnuts - the amount "14 cups" pops into my head but that sounds like a huge exageration. However I do remember a very full plastic bag of hazelnuts from the bulk bin sitting on the kitchen counter, so maybe it's not far off. Anyone have a recipe like this? Thank you!

Hazelnut Torte 4 eggs 3/4 c sugar 2 Tbsp flour 2 1/2 tsp b powder 1 c ground hazelnuts Beat eggs and sugar approx 5 minutes, mix in flour, baking powder and nuts. Pour into 2 greased and lined 8 inch pans. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Filling 2 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp hot coffee 1 c icing sugar 1 tsp cocoa Beat all together. Assemble cake once layers have cooled and ice with lightly sweetened whipping cream. Hope this helps with your craving! Tue Mar 13 18:52:19 -0700 2007 2382872 43422 cheesymama
