CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUT BROWNIE CAKE



Chocolate and Hazelnut Brownie Cake image

Be warned, this is wickedly rich - a chewy, chocolately, nutty mixture sandwiched together with whipped cream. Great with hazelnuts, but you can use other nuts, like brazils, or even a mixture. Posted in response to a request from Delia's Chocolate book.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces dark chocolate (70-75% cocoa solids)
4 ounces chopped toasted hazelnuts
4 ounces butter
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces golden granulated sugar
2 ounces plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 fluid ounces whipping cream (or double cream)
extra toasted nuts, roughly chopped
cocoa powder, to dust

Steps:

  • You will also need a baking tin, 6 x 10 x 1 inch deep, the base and sides lined with parchment paper. Make sure the paper stands up at least an inch above the edge of the tin.
  • Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C).
  • Place the chocolate and butter together in a large, heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmer water, and allow the chocolate to melt, making sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Then beat the mixture until smooth, remove it from the heat and simply stir in all the other ingredients till thoroughly blended. Now spread the mixture evenly into the prepared tin and bake on the centre shelf for 30 minutes. Leave the cake in the tin for 15 minutes to cool, then remove it from the tin, and turn it out on to a cooling rack. Strip off the lining paper, and, when it's absolutely cold, carefully cut the cake in half, down the centre lengthways, so you are left with two oblongs.
  • Now, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and spread half ot it thickly along one half of the cake. Position the other half of the cake on top, and then spread with rest of the cream all over the cake, covering it completely. then decorate with the roughly chopped nuts and, if you like, a dusting of cocoa powder. If all the cake isn't eaten, to keep it fresh, store inside a polyurethane container in the fridge.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 9 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 stick unsalted butter
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 large eggs
3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Italian hazelnut liqueur, such as Frangelico
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup skinless hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
Milk chocolate frosting, recipe follows
White chocolate whipped cream, for garnish, recipe follows
Polka dot triangle, for garnish, recipe follows
Hersheys chocolate sauce in squeeze bottles
Toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
Bittersweet Polka Dot Triangle
Sprig of mint
5 ounces Lindt milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsweetened alkalized cocoa powder
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Italian hazelnut liqueur, such as Frangelico
4 ounces Lindt white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, tempered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment or waxed paper and coat the paper with butter.
  • Place the butter and the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not simmering water. Stir the mixture until it is completely melted and smooth. Remove the top part of the double boiler from the bottom and allow the mixture to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Whisk in the hazelnut liqueur and the cooled chocolate mixture. With a rubber spatula, stir in the flour just until blended. Stir in the hazelnuts. Scrape the batter the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool the brownies. Run a paring knife around the edges of the pan and carefully invert the brownies onto a flat surface. Peel off the paper and then re-invert the brownies onto a cooling rack. Cool completely.
  • Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Sift the cocoa powder over the chocolate. In a small saucepan bring the cream to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and gently whisk until smooth. Stir in the hazelnut liqueur, and allow the mixture to cool at room temperature until it is spreadable, about 1 hour. Using a metal spatula, spread the frosting over the top of the brownies. Using a long serrated knife, trim approximately 1/4 to 1/2-inch off each side. Cut the brownies into 9 squares. Store in an airtight container.
  • In the top of a double boiler over hot, not simmering water, melt the chocolate with 1/4-cup heavy cream, stirring frequently. Let cool to room temperature, stirring once or twice.
  • In an electric mixer, using the whisk attachment beat the remaining 1-cup cream just until soft mounds barely start to form. Stir 2 tablespoons of the cooled white chocolate mixture into the whipped cream to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining white chocolate mixture, just until combined. Scrape the cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (Ateco #7). Use to garnish brownies when plating.
  • Spread the tempered bittersweet chocolate over a polka-dot transfer sheet cut into a triangle (3 inches high). Allow to set up and cool. Remove chocolate and transfer from triangle. Use to garnish brownies and white chocolate whipped cream when plating.

Below are tips and conclusion on the chocolate and hazelnut cake recipe:

Top 5 tips

  • 1. Make sure your butter and chocolate are at room temperature. This will help them to mix together smoothly and cream properly. If your butter is too cold, it will be difficult to mix with the other ingredients, which can cause the cake to be crumbly. If your chocolate is too cold, it will not melt evenly and could cause the cake to seize.
  • 2. Don't over-bake the cake. Brownies are best when they are slightly under-baked, with a gooey center. If you over-bake them, they will be dry and crumbly. To test for donness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out with just a few crumbs attached, the cake is done. If it comes out with a lot of batter attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • 3. Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. If you frost the cake while it is still warm, the frosting will be runny and will not set properly.
  • 4. Use a good quality chocolate for the frosting. The quality of the chocolate you use will make a big difference in the taste of the frosting. Use a chocolate that you like to eat on its own.
  • 5. Be creative with your toppings. You can top the cake with a variety of different toppings, such as chocolate shavings, hazelnuts, or whipped cream. Be creative and come up with your own favorite combination.

Conclusion

Chocolate and hazelnut cake is always a good idea, and this recipe is sure to be a hit. It is rich and decadent, with the perfect combination of chocolate and hazelnut flavors. The cake is also easy to make, so it's perfect for any occasion.
