Flourless Hazelnut Mascapone Chocolate Cake (Gluten-Free) image

It gets more moist and tastes better if you make the cake on the day before, wrap with plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight. For heart shape dusting, draw a big heart on a piece of parchment paper using a pencil and cut the heart out. Place the heart in the center of the baked cake and dust cocoa powder around it. Discard the heart paper and place the remaining paper on the cake aligning with the heart shape. Dust powdered sugar to create a white heart in the center.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 9 inch cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup hazelnuts or 1 cup hazelnut meal
1/2 cup unsalted butter
7 ounces dark chocolate, broken into smaller pieces (2 bars)
8 ounces mascapone cheese, at room temperature
1 cup coconut sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon rum (optional) or 1 tablespoon brandy (optional)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
cocoa powder, for dusting
powdered sugar, for dusting
whipped cream, and (optional) or ice cream (optional)

Steps:

  • If you are using whole hazelnuts, preheat the oven or oven toaster to 350ºF/180ºC. If you are using hazelnut meal, skip to step 4.
  • Toast the whole hazelnuts for about 10 minutes until fragrant. Set aside and cool.
  • Place the cooled hazelnuts in a food processor and grind to make hazelnut meal. Do not over-process. If you do, it will turn into nut butter.
  • In a small pan, melt butter and chocolate under very low heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Spray oil inside a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a bowl, beat mascapone cheese until creamy. Add sugar and beat again.
  • Add eggs and beat until creamy.
  • Add the chocolate mixture, vanilla and liquor (if using) and mix well.
  • Add hazelnut meal, salt, and cinnamon and mix well.
  • Bake for about 40 - 45 minutes. Set aside and cool.
  • When the cake is cooked, remove the pan and place the cake on a cake plate.
  • Dust cocoa powder and powdered sugar using a stencil (see note above).
  • Infuse love and serve with whipped cream and/or ice cream if desired.
