拜堂姐所赐，自从到她家学做Tiramisu之后， 我爱上了烘培。两天前在Ling Ling 家吃过她烤的Nutella Cake之后，兴致勃勃自己也来弄一个。味道还挺不错的。有兴趣的朋友不妨试试。
This is originally Nigella Lawson's recipe. It is a dense cake but not as heavy as you would think If you love chocolate, you'll love this.
Recipe 取自 www.grouprecipes.com.
Cake:
6 large eggs, separated
pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 13-ounce container Nutellla
1 tablespoon rum
1/2 cup finely ground hazelnuts
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
Ganache:
4 ounces whole hazelnuts
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon rum
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees; butter a 9-inch springform pan.
2.In a large bowl (preferably metal), whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff.
3.In another bowl, cream the butter and Nutella, then add the rum, egg yolks, and ground hazelnuts. Fold in melted chocolate.
4.Add a blob of beaten egg whites to the chocolate batter, and mix gently until well-combined. Fold in the remaining whites, one-third at a time, very gently but thorougly.
5.Pour into springform and bake for 40 minutes.
Test for doneness by inserting tester, which should come out mostly clean;
lightly pressing finger into top to check for a slight bouncing-back; and observing edges beginning to separate from pan. Let cool completely, in pan, on a rack.
6.Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet, shaking them around frequently. Do it for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned, then let cool completely. If hazelnuts came with skins on, put them in a towel after toasting and rub around; this will remove most of the skins, if you are diligent. (You can use chopped hazelnuts if you're feeling lazy like me)
7.Chop chocolate, and add to sauce pan with cream and rum over medium-low heat. Once chocolate is melted and components are combined, whisk until mixture reaches desired thickness, then cool.
8.Remove rim of cake pan and pour cooled ganache over, spreading lightly to create a smooth, shiny surface, and apply hazelnuts all over.
五分钟前， 硬着头皮向四姐求救。。。因为我又忘记自己 Blog 的 password 了！！！
没办法， 暑假过得太充实了， 难免懒惰写blog 。（只是没想到， 一停下来竟停了三个月）
