Hazelnut, Ginger and Olive Oil Cake

Swedish Visiting Cake Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies This is definitely a cake, no bar about it. It is a delicious cake, flavored and covered with almonds.

Sunday in Paris Chocolate Cake
Dorie suggests a variety of vessels you can use to make these cakes. I chose to make mine in mini-muffin tins. I got a total of 17 mini-muffins and I baked them approximately 12 minutes. The ganache was plenty for 17 but not the toppings. I ran out of peanuts and chopped chocolate after about…
