Hazelnut, Ginger and Olive Oil Cake

Tuesdays with Dorie
Baking Chez Moi
I would never think of these three ingredients to make a good cake but they do. I had to make my own hazelnut flour which I was happy to do as I love hazelnuts. During my assembly of ingredients I discovered my ginger had spoiled and I needed to head out again to the market to buy fresh. Despite my set backs the cake came together easy and baked in 60 minutes. I could hardly wait for it to cool to try it. This is a rich cake with both butter and olive oil so small pieces are in order. My husband enjoyed this one too. Another winner from Dorie.

  2. You are dedicated – I didn't go out to get either hazelnut flour or ginger so I really made a riff on the recipe. Need to try the proper one sooN!

    It was an odd mix of ingredients but surprisingly good. Glad you liked it.

    I had everything on hand, because I used almonds in place of hazelnuts. I'm going to have to try the original version, though, because it sounds delicious and looks beautiful.Teresa – One Wet Foot
