Cut the chocolate into small pieces and mix in (I pulse briefly in a food processor).

Ingredients Notes
125g butter at room temperature At room temperature it'll be easy to mix with the egg yolks!
4 egg yolks We need the egg whites, don't throw them away.
a dash of salt Beat until light yellow and foamy.
200g sugar
120g flour
200g ground hazelnuts Add to the yolks and butter.
50g whole hazelnuts Coarsely grind them yourself. Texture is important so don't overdo it.
½ pack of baking powder If you don't buy it in packs of around 16g, just use a teaspoon of baking powder. The cake is not supposed to be fluffy! Mix with the dough. This is when you use your hands to really get into it
150g good dark chocolate I like Crémant by Cailler; "cocoa solids: 46% minimum"; buy cheap chocolate and you deserve a cheap cake. Break it into little pieces and add to the dough.
4 egg whites Beat until stiff but not dry and carefully fold into the dough you already have. This looks tricky, but it's easy.
Pour into a baking pan that you greased with some butter. Don't forget that it will rise, so don't worry if it doesn't seem to fill the pan.

Steps:

The entire thing should have taken you half an hour, including doing the dishes. Bake at the bottom of your oven, 180°C, for anything between 30 and 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. In my oven it's around half an hour.

Tips:

For a rich, moist cake, use high-quality butter and eggs.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
Gradually add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent lumps.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
Cool the cake completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
For a professional-looking cake, use a piping bag to apply the frosting.
Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

The Tiroler cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed for any occasion. With its rich, moist texture and sweet, nutty flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, you can easily make this cake at home. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give the Tiroler cake a try.
