This is my cousin's recipe. A 'cake' in Swiss is traditionally one made in a loaf pan. This is a good coffee cake.

TIROLER CAKE

Ingredients Notes
125g butter at room temperature At room temperature it'll be easy to mix with the egg yolks!
4 egg yolks We need the egg whites, don't throw them away.
a dash of salt Beat until light yellow and foamy.
200g sugar
120g flour
200g ground hazelnuts Add to the yolks and butter.
50g whole hazelnuts Coarsely grind them yourself. Texture is important so don't overdo it.
½ pack of baking powder If you don't buy it in packs of around 16g, just use a teaspoon of baking powder. The cake is not supposed to be fluffy! Mix with the dough. This is when you use your hands to really get into it
150g good dark chocolate I like Crémant by Cailler; "cocoa solids: 46% minimum"; buy cheap chocolate and you deserve a cheap cake. Break it into little pieces and add to the dough.
4 egg whites Beat until stiff but not dry and carefully fold into the dough you already have. This looks tricky, but it's easy.
Pour into a baking pan that you greased with some butter. Don't forget that it will rise, so don't worry if it doesn't seem to fill the pan.

Steps:

  • The entire thing should have taken you half an hour, including doing the dishes. Bake at the bottom of your oven, 180°C, for anything between 30 and 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. In my oven it's around half an hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your cake has the best flavor and texture.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for ensuring that your cake turns out properly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the flour to the batter, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Tiroler Cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for any occasion, from a simple family gathering to a festive holiday party. With its moist texture, rich flavor, and beautiful appearance, Tiroler Cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special cake to bake, give Tiroler Cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
