Ingredients

Servings: 20

100 g whole hazelnut kernels (without skin)
400 g ground hazelnuts
200 g Fine dark chocolate (70% cocoa content)
300 g Butter
7-10 Tbsp Fat and sugar
6 Eggs (Gr. M)
250 g + 2 tablespoons sugar
500 g Strawberries
150 g Fresh cream
1 TEASPOON liquid vanilla flavouring
200 g Whipped cream

Directions

1
Coarsely chop the nut kernels and roast them in a hot pan without fat. Remove. Roast ground nuts in 2-3 portions in the pan while stirring constantly. Take out. Let the nuts cool down.
2
Chopping chocolate. Melt with butter in a hot water bath. Cool down. Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø) and sprinkle with sugar.
3
Separate eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff, chill them. Beat the egg yolks and 250 g sugar with the whisks of the hand mixer in a large mixing bowl for about 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in ground nuts and liquid chocolate briefly.
4
Add the chopped nuts and then the beaten egg white.
5
Spread the mixture into the mould. Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: level 2) for 45-55 minutes, the cake should still be slightly moist inside. Leave to cool in the mould for about 20 minutes.
6
Then remove from the mould and allow to cool completely.
7
Wash the strawberries, put some aside for decoration. Clean the rest and cut into slices. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and let the juice steep. Mix crème fraîche and vanilla flavouring. Whip cream until stiff and fold in.
8
Cut the cake into about 20 cube-shaped pieces. Serve with strawberries, juice and vanilla cream. Halve the rest of the strawberries and decorate the pieces with them.
