- Gently fold through the flour, baking powder and ground, roasted hazelnuts.
- Pour into 8cm cake silicone mats and bake for 20 minutes at 170°C. Once cooked, allow to cool completely.
- To make the chocolate praline buttercream. Over a bain marie gently mix and warm the egg whites and sugar to 65°c to dissolve the sugars.
- Place the egg whites and sugar into a machine bowl and whisk to a meringue.
- Slowly add the softened butter piece by piece, whisking in between each addition.
- Warm the chocolate and hazelnut praline and whisk into the mix.
- To assemble the cakes, pipe bulbs of buttercream between each layer of cake (approx 40g per layer). Each cake will have three layers of cake.
- To decorate. Pipe a decorative bulb of buttercream on the very top layer (approx 10g per cake) and then sprinkle with dark chocolate blossoms and hazelnut bresilienne.
