Hazelnut and cake is an absolutely delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This cake is made up of layers of meringue and rich, decadent chocolate ganache. It’s an easy-to-prepare cake and can be made ahead of time- making it an ideal dessert for entertaining guests. Let’s take a look at how to make this scrumptious cake.

To begin, preheat your oven to 325°F and line three baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups of ground hazelnuts with 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat 8 egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until the mixture is glossy and thick.

Fold the hazelnut mixture into the egg white mixture until well combined. Divide the batter equally into the three prepared baking sheets, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets.

To make the chocolate ganache, heat 1 1/2 cups of heavy in a saucepan over medium heat. When the cream begins to simmer, remove it from the heat and add 16 oz of chopped dark chocolate. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt. After that, stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Refrigerate the ganache for 30-45 minutes until it’s slightly thickened, but still pourable.

To assemble the cake, place one layer of the hazelnut meringue on a plate. Spread a layer of the chocolate ganache over the meringue, then place the second layer of meringue on top. Repeat the process with the ganache, finishing with the third layer of meringue.

Smooth any excess ganache around the edges of the cake and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Hazelnut and chocolate meringue cake is a showstopper dessert that will impress all your guests. It’s not only delicious, but it’s also a beautiful-looking cake.
