National Hazelnut Cake Day

Hazelnut cake is a sweet and rich dessert that is made with hazelnuts, which are also known as filberts. Hazelnut cake can be made in many different forms, from light and fluffy sponge cakes to dense and moist nut cakes. The hazelnuts are often used in both the cake batter and the frosting, and they can be finely ground into a flour to add a nutty flavor and texture to the cake. Some recipes also call for chopped hazelnuts to be mixed into the batter or sprinkled on top of the cake as a garnish. Hazelnut cake is often paired with coffee or chocolate, and it is a popular dessert choice for special occasions and celebrations. Hazelnuts are a versatile ingredient that are prized for their rich, nutty flavor, and they are used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes, from cakes and pastries to sauces and spreads.
