## Ingredients

- 200 g [Marzipan](https://fridge.menu/en/i/marzipan) — coarsely grated
- 75 g [Caster sugar](https://fridge.menu/en/i/sugar)
- 200 g [Butter](https://fridge.menu/en/i/butter) — at room temperature
- 4 pcs [Eggs](https://fridge.menu/en/i/eggs)
- 50 g [Plain flour](https://fridge.menu/en/i/flour)
- 60 g [Dark chocolate](https://fridge.menu/en/i/dark-chocolate) — finely chopped
- 50 ml [Milk](https://fridge.menu/en/i/milk)
- 80 g [Butter](https://fridge.menu/en/i/butter) — softened
- 200 g [Icing sugar](https://fridge.menu/en/i/powdered-sugar)
- 50 g [Hazelnuts](https://fridge.menu/en/i/hazelnut)

## Steps

1. Beat the marzipan with the caster sugar until smooth. Add the butter, cut into cubes, and beat until the mixture is smooth and airy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour at the end.
2. Spoon the batter into a greased 20 cm springform tin lined with baking parchment on the base.
3. Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 175°C (fan/convection setting) for about 30 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Let the cake cool slightly in the tin before removing it. (30 min)
4. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk. Beat the butter with the icing sugar until light and fluffy, then stir in the chocolate-milk mixture. (6 min)
5. Spread the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake. (3 min)
6. Put the hazelnut kernels in a hot dry pan and toast, stirring, until the skins start to lift. Remove from the heat once the skins begin to flake. Wrap in a clean cloth and rub off the skins. Roughly chop the hazelnuts if you like before sprinkling them over the cake.
