Vegan Hazelnut Cake with Chocolate Glaze
Ingredients
For the dough
- 200 g brown sugar
- 250 g soy yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 100 ml sunflower oil
- 200 g flour (Type 405)
- 200 g ground hazelnuts
- 3 tsp baking powder
For glaze and decoration
- 200 g vegan dark chocolate
- 50 g chopped hazelnuts
Preparation
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius conventional (160 degrees Celsius fan). Rinse a silicone loaf pan (27 x 11 cm) with cold water, do not dry. Whisk together brown sugar, soy yogurt, and oil for the dough.
Mix flour with ground hazelnuts and baking powder and add to the sugar-oil mixture. Stir briefly until a smooth batter forms. Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake in preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes. Let cake cool completely before removing from the pan.
For the glaze, roughly chop dark chocolate and melt slowly in a double boiler over medium heat. Place cake on a wire rack. Spread glaze evenly over the cake, decorate with chopped hazelnuts. Let glaze set. The cake yields about 10 slices.
Tips
Also delicious as chocolate cake: If you want it more chocolatey, simply stir in 2-3 tbsp cocoa powder and reduce flour by about 30 g.
