Cake with Hazelnuts

The preparation of this Italian dessert is so easy and fast that you will need only 10 minutes. I like to call this cake with hazelnuts “all 100 grams” because all the ingredients are used in the same quantity and the quantity is always a multiple of 100 grams. Here I prepared a cake using a baking pan of 24cm of diameter and for this reason I used 200 grams of each ingredients. This cake is perfect to be served with a cup of tea or a cup of hot chocolate. Next time I will try to prepared a variation of this cake that to it will be very delicious too: instead of hazelnuts I will try to use the almond, I will let you know the result.
