About this recipe

This hazelnut cake with cinnamon is a piece of my childhood. My grandma always baked it, especially in the pre-Christmas season, and the scent of cinnamon and hazelnuts filled the whole house. It is a simple recipe, but the combination of flavors is simply unbeatable. I have refined it over the years, especially through the use of the Thermomix®, which makes the preparation even easier. The ingredients are deliberately chosen to achieve a perfect balance between taste and texture. The hazelnuts are naturally the star of the cake, providing a nutty, slightly tart taste and a pleasant texture. The cinnamon complements the hazelnuts perfectly with its warm, spicy note. The lemon brings a fresh acidity into play, which does not make the cake too heavy. The rusk provides a light crispness and binds moisture, while Cremefine and milk keep the cake juicy. Margarine in the shortcrust pastry ensures a good bond and a delicate melt. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to add the ingredients in the correct order. First mix the dry ingredients to avoid lumps. When making shortcrust pastry, make sure that the margarine is cold so that the dough does not get too warm. The rusk crumbs should be fine, but not ground to dust. When whisking the eggs with Cremefine, milk and sugar, use the butterfly to obtain an airy mass. Stir in the hazelnut mixture only briefly so that the dough does not become tough. If you want to modify the cake a little, you can replace some of the flour with ground almonds, for example. For a vegan version, you can replace the margarine with vegan butter and the Cremefine with a vegetable cream alternative. Instead of cinnamon, you can also use gingerbread spice or cardamom. The hazelnut cake tastes best lukewarm or cooled. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream goes perfectly with it. A glass of milk or a cup of coffee is also a good addition. The cake stays fresh in an airtight container for several days. You can also prepare it well and prepare the dough the day before and refrigerate it. The hazelnut mixture can also be prepared. This saves time on the baking day.
