Torta Di Nocciole Con Panna

Directions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).

Butter and flour an 8-inch cake pan.

Spread hazelnuts on a cookie sheet and toast in oven for 5 minutes.

Remove them and reduce oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Grind nuts in a blender or food processor to a fine meal.

Beat eggs and sugar together until pale yellow and creamy.

Mix in flour, baking powder, salt and ground nuts.

Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake 20-to-25 minutes, until edges of the cake begin to pull away from the pan.

Cool on a rack and transfer to a plate.

Just before serving, whip cream to soft peaks and spread it over top of cake.
