Ingredients




7 ounces Semisweet chocolate
14 tablespoons Butter or margarine
4 Eggs
3/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Flour
 cup Hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon Baking powder

Preparation

1 Makes about 10 servings 2 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a springform pan with detachable bottom that has a diameter of about 9 1/2 inches. 3 Melt cooking chocolate and butter in a thick-bottomed pot over low heat. Beat eggs and sugar until light and airy. Carefully stir the somewhat cooled chocolate mixture into egg mixture. 4 Blend flour, nuts, and baking powder together, and fold carefully into batter. It's important to fold it in gently. 5 Pour batter into pan and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. The cake should not become firm. The "unbaked" batter tastes like a delicious filling. 6 You may garnish cooled cake with a bit of grated chocolate and a ring of whipped topping.
