Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups margarine

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup ground hazelnuts
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
- Cream margarine and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix flour, cornstarch, hazelnuts, and cocoa powder in a separate bowl and quickly mix into the margarine mixture. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Reviews
I made this cake twice, one day apart, exactly as the recipe states. It is delicious, and had a wonderful nutty texture and hazelnut flavor. I am giving it four stars because both times I baked it, it was not done at one hour. The first one fooled me with the toothpick test and when I removed it from the pan, it was like a lava cake! Hence my making it a second time . And yes, the second time was baked through, and took 1 hour 15 at 350. It is a delightful cake! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
This cake is tastes like fluffy nutella. Yum. It puffs up a lot, even though there isn’t any baking powder. Light and delicious, it goes very well with tea or coffee.
