Hi do I need to reduce the time of baking if I am baking a smaller size cake ?
Reply

Hi Jeanne,
yes you can check the cake after 30 minutes. Make a toothpick sample before removing the cake from the oven.
Enjoy.

Is it possible to make this into cupcakes rather than a cake? If so what alterations do you think would be necessary?
Reply

Hi what if i reduced the amount of nuts by 100 grms? Doni have to do any adjustment with the flour.
Reply
Klaraslife13. January 2020 - 15:02
Hi, If you reduce 100 g nuts you must use 65 g more flour. That should work. 🙂

What sugar do you use? Granulated or caster sugar?

Hi
I use granulated sugar.
Happy friday

Thank you, This gives me a good way to use our hazelnuts from the garden. I feel it needs a little bit more sugar for my taste buds.

Could this be made as a decorated birthday cake or is it more a “loaf”??? Thanks

Hi just to confirm – do we use 3.5 tsp of baking powder?
Reply
Klaraslife5. March 2020 - 10:44
Hi, yes that’s correct. In Germany we use 1 packets baking powder that’s 3 1/2 tsp. But I think it will work with 3 tsp too.
Happy day

I was searching for a Hazelnut cake like my Oma made for me in 1969. I found your recipe and saw it was your Oma’s so I made it. It was exactly like I remembered and brought me back to her kitchen in Munich. I and all my family loved it. I covered it with a ganache as she did. Perfection! Thank you so much!.

Hi there, if the cake has come out dry do i just add extra milk into the mix? Thank you.

Hi Monique,
yes you can add a bit more milk.

Helen White6. July 2022 - 17:20
Hi Monique –
Thanks for this recipe. I used it as a base and adapted slightly – making it gluten free, adding some chopped soft dried apricots and poppy seeds, using olive oil instead of butter. It’s lovely – thanks so much! Helen.

Made this cake last night, only change I made was to add 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Perfect cake to have with tea. If you leave some of the hazelnuts more coarsely ground it makes the cake a little crunchy inside- highly recommend!
