This is both sexy and unsexy at the same time. Is it a perfect slice? No. Is that an ooey, gooey center? Heck yes!
My love for chocolate and hazelnuts is well-known and showcased on this blog. So of course, any recipe with them together, I have to try. This one comes from Food and Wine, December 2012. It's called the Tunnel of Fudge Cake with Hazelnuts.
It's a recipe from a second-place winner in a Pillsbury bake-off in 1966. Wonder what won first place? Anyways, I don't think this one's a winner for me. The ground hazelnuts tasted great, but gave too gritty a texture to the whole cake. I liked the gooey center, but my husband wasn't a fan. So, I'll have to pass on keeping this in my repertoire.
Whatever... I loved it. Thanks for letting us have some!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Brad. I shouldn't shoot it down so bad, it was tasty. Just not "OHMYGOD this is sooo good!" I'm glad Bendy enjoyed it.
