Description

This delicious chocolate and hazelnut cake is a real treat for the palate! The combination of dark chocolate and toasted hazelnuts creates a rich and enveloping flavor, perfect for a birthday party or a Sunday cuddle. The base is a cocoa sponge cake, soft and light, while the cream is made with ricotta cheese and a touch of vanilla. The chopped hazelnuts add a crunchy note that contrasts pleasantly with the creaminess of the rest. Preparing it is easier than you think, especially with the help of the Thermomix®! A dessert that will conquer everyone, young and old.
