Ingredients

• 200 g Hazelnut flour
• 80 g Granulated erythritol
• 80 g Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 120 ml Heavy cream (for optional topping)
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)
• 30 g Chopped hazelnuts (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the hazelnut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the eggs, then mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the torte to cool completely in the pan before removing it. Transfer the torte to a serving plate.

Step 9

To prepare the optional topping, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then spread or pipe it over the cooled torte.

Step 10

Finish by sprinkling ground cinnamon and chopped hazelnuts over the cream for garnish if desired.

Step 11

Slice and serve the torte. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
