Hazelnut and Coffee Cake

It was my birthday on Friday and I decided to bake myself a cake to mark the occasion. Since it was a purely selfish endeavour I decided it would have to include my favourite ingredients. I already knew exactly which cake would fit this bill as I spotted it a while back in one of my Italian magazines called "Piú Dolci" and had filed it away for just this type of occasion.

The flavours that I find hard to resist in desserts are hazelnut and coffee and this cake is made with hazelnut meal and real coffee, freshly made espresso for maximum flavour. If you make this please don't use instant coffee. The cake itself is almost sponge like, it's still soft, moist and light but the hazelnut gives it such amazing character and texture that you just don't find in regular sponge cakes.

To top it off, I've given it a matt finish - a mix of icing sugar, dutch cocoa, hazelnut meal and coffee.
