German Hazelnut Cake image

An excellent cake from Dr Oetker German Home Baking that's simple and easy to make. Hazelnut cakes are also made in Switzerland and probably other European countries. If you have a kitchen scale I would recommend using the weight measurements as they're more accurate but to make it more friendly to North American kitchens I added volume measurements in brackets. You can find bitter almond essence in German delicatessens and in some supermarkets.

9 ounces butter (1 1/4 cups) or 9 ounces margarine (1 1/4 cups)

9 ounces all-purpose flour (2 1/4 cups)
3 teaspoons baking powder
9 ounces ground hazelnuts (1 1/4 cups)
1 3/4 ounces swiss chocolate, finely chopped

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked it.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting next time.
