hi Jennifer, I’ve been drooling over your pictures for months now and finally had the perfect occasion to try your recipe…with a few modifications. I have to tell ya that this cake is to die for!!! It’s so incredibly delicious!!!

I will tell ya though, that I totally suck at getting the skin off hazelnuts. I toasted them and then I put then on a warm, wet towel and rubbed them, creating friction to try to get the skins off. Some came off but others did not. I spent an hour trying to get the skins off so I could get such beautiful hazelnuts like the ones in your picture. I think next time I’ll just use hazelnuts with the skins on them. Either that or try to find some trick to get the skins off easier.

Anyway, thanks so much again for posting such scrumptious pictures and recipes. I love your website! Cheers! sheila

hello, i’m kate and i would like to try your recipe! i’m from hong kong, so i’m not sure about the units used. how many grams is one cup of butter? is there difference between one cup of flour, one cup of butter, one cup of sugar? does all american recipes use the same way to measure??i really like your recipes, especially the cookies and cakes!! i’m going to use this recipe to make a cake for my christmas party, so i’d want to be sure that it’ll be ok.(hopefully) (: thanks.

Lynn, the recipe is correct – no sugar. There is some sugar in the Nutella and the chocolate. Don’t worry, though, because you’ll never miss it.

Beautiful cake. Just wondering though….I don’t see any sugar listed as a cake ingredient. Is the cake sweet? I don’t think I’ve ever made a cake without adding sugar. Just checking!
