German Hazelnut Cake

One day when I was cleaning our kitchen cupboards, I realized that I have a bag of ground hazelnuts lying around. I do not remember why I bought it, probably because it was cheap and, of course, I do love hazelnuts. So I decided to make a hazelnut cake. There was a recipe for it from the packaging but I added a bit of this and that, so it was mostly experimental.  But the end result was not bad, I only had to add more grounded hazelnut to the recipe because my personal critic (also known as my hubby), says it should be more "hazelnutty".

Additionally, I think I needed more practice with the piping as you can see from the picture above. The thing is, a week before this, my husband ordered from eBay a piping set for me as I keep on complaining that I can not find them on any stores in our area (living in the countryside has its drawbacks). I was so excited to use them for the first time, so I just took a quick tutorial (thank you Google) and had a go with it.

I have the idea too to use Nutella as frosting. I think that would enhance the flavor of the hazelnut more. That will be on my 'to try' list.
