Ingredients
Hazelnut Cake
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups hazelnut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl use an electric mixer to combine the butter, coconut sugar, eggs, agave nectar, and vanilla.
- Add the hazelnut flour, baking powder and salt.
- Mix again to combine.
- Line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper.
- Transfer the batter to a square pan and spread in an even layer.
- Bake the cake in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before frosting. I find it easiest to slide a knife around any edges touching the pan and pull up the parchment paper edges.
- While the cake is cooling, make the frosting. Use an electric mixer to cream the butter in a medium bowl for about 1 minute.
- Add the cocoa and agave nectar. Mix again until combined.
- Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting out on the top of the cake in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the top of the cake with chopped hazelnuts and enjoy!
