HAZELNUT AND BROWN BUTTER CAKE
This cake, with its subtle toasted-nut flavor and moist, buttery texture, is one of the few things I can't resist, especially when it's still warm from the oven. It's also delicious made with walnuts or almonds in place of the hazelnuts.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, and continue to cook it until it turns brown and smells quite nutty, being careful not to let it burn, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool almost to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, heat a convection oven to 325 degrees F or a conventional oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of a 10-inch round cake pan and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast them in the oven until lightly browned and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Wrap the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub them together vigorously to remove most of the skins. (It's fine if some is left on.)
- Chop about 1/4 cup of the nuts finely. Grind the rest of the toasted nuts in a food processor until finely ground.
- Sift the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt together into a large bowl. Add the ground nuts and whisk to combine. Add the egg whites and whisk them together well with the dry ingredients. Slowly add the melted butter, whisking constantly until it is completely incorporated and no butter is floating on top of the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with the reserved chopped nuts. Bake until the cake feels solid but still gives slightly when touched, 40 to 45 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
HAZELNUT CAKE
A VERY LIGHT but delicious hazelnut cake, and very easy to make! No butter, only 1tsp of flour and made with breadcrumbs, a nice touch. It is my husband's favorite cake and we rediscovered the recipe in his mom's old cookbook. A hit at home and at parties - I've passed on the recipe to many! A variation - fill with chocolate ganache or, for a really quick trick, Nutella, as a VERY THIN LAYER (as the cake is so light) before adding the whipped cream. Sprinkle with cocoa and hazelnuts once done.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°F.
- In a large bowl beat the egg yolks and the whole egg together with a wire whisk, or rotary or electric beater, continuing to beat until the mixture is thick and light yellow in color. Gradually beat in ½ cup of the sugar, then the nuts and the bread crumbs. Continue to beat until the mixture forms a dense, moist mass.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the wire whisk or electric beater until the foam, then add ¼ cup of the sugar, 1 tbs at a time. Continue to beat until the whites form stiff, unwavering peaks. With a spatula mix about ¼ of the whites into the hazelnut mixture, then sprinkle the flour over it and gently fold in the rest of the whites. Continue to fold until no trace of the whites remains. Do not overfold.
- Butter and flour a 10-in springform pan. Turn the pan over and strike it to remove any excess flour. Pour batter into the pan, smooth the top and bake in the middle of the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until it shrinks away slightly from the sides of the pan. Remove the upper part of the pan as soon as you take it out of the oven and let the cake cool. Slice into 2 equal layers.
- Whip the chilled cream until it begins to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla adn continue to whip until the cream holds its shape. Fill the cake with the cream and cover as well. Sprinkle leftover chopped nuts over the cake. Serve at once.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine the ground hazelnuts, egg yolks, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl beat egg the whites until stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 of egg white mixture to the hazelnut mixture and incorporate. Add the remaining egg whites and fold together until no streaks are left from the egg whites, taking care not to deflate the egg whites. Pour the mixture into a nonstick springform cake pan and bake until a fork comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake, about 50 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, let cool slightly and release the sides. To serve, slice the cake and top with chocolate mousse and berries, or whipped cream, if desired.
HUNGARIAN FLOURLESS HAZELNUT CAKE
This cake was traditionally a birthday cake in my friend's home. Her mother is from Hungary and only has this recipe in her head! Now it will be preserved.... Note: hazelnuts may be toasted or untoasted. The skins may be removed or left on.

HAZELNUT CAKE (NO BUTTER, NO FLOUR)
A fast and easy coffee cake. The most work is the grinding of the nuts, but that doesn't take long. Good for lactose and gluten intolerants. I often make this for my mother-in-law who is 100% milk protein intolerant.

Steps:
- Put oven to 200°C (or 390°F).
- Butter and flour a loaf tin.
- For gluten intolerants, use grounded nuts for this step.
- "Cream" egg and sugar together for 10 minutes to get a yellow and fluffy batter.
- Fold in the ground nuts.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes in the middle of the oven until a stick comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly and tip out of the tin; let cool completely.
Tips:
- Use good quality hazelnuts for the best flavor. Lightly toast the hazelnuts before using to enhance their flavor even more.
- If you don't have hazelnut flour, you can make your own by grinding hazelnuts in a food processor until they are finely ground.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the baking powder and baking soda, as too much or too little can affect the texture of the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cake dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have time to make the frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead.
