A rich and decadent chocolatey cake, with lots of of chocolate chunks and a sprinkling of nuts, making each bite a luxurious experience. Since the cake is rich enough on its own, I did not add any frosting or ganache, just a light dusting of icing sugar was the perfect topping, keeping the taste-focus entirely on the wonderfully delicious cake itself! :))
Ingredients
180 gm. flour
60gm cocoa powder
125gm butter
125gm sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
¾ cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla essence
75 gm. chopped chocolate (I used semi-sweet)
3 tbsp. chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
Grease and line an 8 or 9 inch baking pan.
Cream butter with sugar, then add eggs one at a time and beat until well incorporated. Sieve flour with cocoa, salt and baking powder. Gradually add flour and milk in three installments, mixing until just incorporated, do not over mix. Add the chopped chocolate and nuts. Fold gently and pour batter into prepared pan.
Tip: Dust the nuts and chopped chocolate in some flour before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking during baking.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170 C for about 30minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool then either frost with chocolate ganache or lightly dust some icing sugar.
Serve! :))

The area where you make itake sure its not very warm or else it will become gluey and then you will need to add more icing.
Hi,
Can you please suggest which brand of chocolate I can use for "75 gm. chopped chocolate (I used semi-sweet)". Is this supposed to be cooking chocolate? Would really help if you could give me some brand names :)
God Bless!
Hi, I go with Callebaut cooking/baking chocolate. You can use any like Hersheys or even milk chocolate. And yes baking chocolate is the same as semi-sweet.
hi!
cn i omit da chocolate?
It would not be the same result.
Can I use any other nuts and not hazelnut??
Yes you can use any nut.
