  • 50 g grated chocolate
  • 50 g chopped hazelnuts
  • 200 g ground hazelnuts
  • 100 g yogurt
  • 1 marzipan blanket
  • 200 g couverture for glaze

Method
 

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat).
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat the soft butter with the white sugar, brown sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until the mixture is light and creamy.
  3. Incorporate the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture becomes foamy.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually stir this into the creamed mixture.
  5. Fold In the Nuts and Chocolate: Carefully fold in the ground hazelnuts, chopped hazelnuts, and grated chocolate. Lastly, add the yogurt and mix until well combined.
  6. Prepare Baking Pan: Butter and flour a 26 cm baking pan, then pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness using the classic chopstick test.
  8. Cool and Fill: Allow the cake to cool before slicing it horizontally in the middle. Spread raspberry jam on the bottom layer and place the top layer back on.
  9. Apply Marzipan and Chocolate: Cover the top with a marzipan layer, then melt the couverture chocolate and spread it over the marzipan.
  10. Decorate: Feel free to finish with any additional decorations or toppings you like!
