Nutella and Hazelnut Crown Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Lightly butter and flour a crown-shaped cake mold (or another type). In a saucepan over low heat, soften the chocolate spread in the 200 ml of liquid cream. Mix well.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the sifted flour, baking powder, and ground nuts in a mixing bowl, and mix. Pour in the cream-nutella mixture, mix well, then add the egg yolks and mix again.

Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks with a pinch of salt. Gently fold them into the previous mixture without whisking (by lifting the mixture).

Pour the batter into the mold, slide it into the oven for about 30 minutes. Unmold the cake when it comes out of the oven, let it cool on a wire rack, and then sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

To finish, for even more indulgence, cover the cake with a chocolate glaze. Enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, hazelnuts, or praline... With custard, whipped cream, or a red fruit coulis... A chocolate sauce for a completely chocolate dessert. Enjoy your meal!
