Flourless hazelnut chocolate cake
INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
1/3 cup (80ml) hot water
150g dark chocolate, melted
150g butter, melted
1 1/3 cups (275g) firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup (125g) hazelnut meal (Gluten free)
4 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, extra
METHOD

Preheat the oven to moderate (180°C/160°C fan-forced). Grease a deep 19cm-square cake pan; line the base and sides with baking paper.

Blend the cocoa with the hot water in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the chocolate, butter, sugar, hazelnut meal and egg yolks.

Beat the egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then fold into the chocolate mixture in two batches.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan; bake in a moderate oven for about
1 hour or until firm. Stand the cake for 15 minutes; turn on to a wire rack,
top-side up, to cool. Dust with sifted extra cocoa to serve.
