I Can't Believe It's Not Nutella Cake

I had a cup of ground roasted hazelnut meal left over from making hazelnut milk on Saturday, and as I didn’t want to throw it away, I thought I would make a twist on a Walnut Coffee cake.

I used this recipe as a base:

Changes to the recipe ingredients:

  • Subbed 1 cup of hazelnut meal for 1 cup of almond flour
  • Subbed cocoa powder for the coffee powder
  • Subbed hazelnut milk for the almond milk
  • Cut the sweetener by 1/3 in the cake mix and the buttercream icing

Be warned! This cake batter does not rise at all, so you must use a tiny springform pan (11cm / 4 inches) or you will end with a flat cake.

Cream of Tartar might help some? It is a raising agent, and there are also some others out there as well.
