Tips:
- Prepare the Hazelnuts: Roast the hazelnuts lightly in the oven before grinding them to enhance their flavor.
- Beat Butter and Sugar Well: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This ensures a good rise and texture.
- Fold Gently: When adding the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, fold gently to keep the batter light and airy.
- Spiced Honey Syrup Timing: Prepare the spiced honey syrup while the cake is baking so it has time to infuse and be ready to pour over the cake immediately after it comes out of the oven.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve the cake slightly warm to best enjoy the flavors of the spiced honey syrup.
Enjoy your gluten-free hazelnut cake with spiced honey syrup warm or at room temperature. This cake pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. The combination of the nutty hazelnuts and the aromatic spiced syrup makes for a dessert that is both comforting and indulgent. Not only will it become a favorite treat in your household, but it will also impress any guests. Happy baking!
