This is my cousin's recipe. A 'cake' in Swiss is traditionally one made in a loaf pan. This is a good coffee cake. Ingredients:
125 g butter |
125 g sugar |
3 eggs |
1 pinch salt |
1/2 tablespoon vanilla sugar (or a little vanilla essence) |
150 ml milk |
250 g flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
80 g hazelnuts, processed to make fine crumbs |
80 g dark chocolate |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and salt, beat until you have a pale mass.
2. Add the vanilla sugar and the milk.
3. While stirring add the flour, the baking powder and the nut crumbs.
4. Cut the chocolate into small pieces and mix in (I pulse briefly in a food processor).
5. If you use a cake tin of 25 cm you have to bake it for about 45 minutes on 180°C A shorter pan will make a taller loaf.
