Dark chocolate and hazelnut torte.
The other day I had hazelnuts and chocolate so I decided to follow this recipe but I made a few changes ;) First you need about 140g hazelnuts. I didn't toast them but I finely chopped them in a food processor.
I then added 140g self-raising flour and 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (and I completely forgot to add 140g sugar!).
I whisked 3 egg whites until stiff, then I quickly stirred 140g butter melted, 75ml milk and the 3 egg yolks into the dry ingredients. When the mixture was smooth, I stirred in one-third of the egg whites, then I gently folded in the rest. My son wanted to give me a hand :)
I poured the mixture into a tin, and baked it for 40-50 mins until the cake was golden and springy to touch. 
Whilst the cake was baking, I prepared the dark chocolate filling. I microwaved 100g dark chocolate with a bit of water and 1 tbsp clear honey and mixed it well to obtain a smooth consistency.When the cake was out of the oven and had cooled down a bit, I splitted the sponge in half. I gently spooned the chocolate filling over the first half.
To finish, I put the other half of the cake back on top to obtain this delicious torte (even without sugar!).
