This decadent chocolate cake is made from a delicious combination of hazelnut, cocoa and decorative chocolate eggs.
- Preheat the oven to 180C or 160C fan. Grease a 20cm springform pan and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
- Place the butter and chocolate into a large heatproof bowl. Stand bowl over pan of barely simmering water and stir occasionally until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, sugar, hazelnut meal, sifted cocoa and egg yolks.
- Using electric beaters, beat the eggwhites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Mix 1/4 of eggwhites into chocolate mixture to soften it. Use a large metal spoon to fold in remaining eggwhites and combine until there are no streaks of white, taking care not to lose the volume.
- Spoon mixture into prepared tin and bake for 45 mins. Cool in tin. Chill until firm. Run a knife around edge of cake, remove from tin. Place onto a serving plate and top with mini Easter eggs. Dust with cocoa powder. Serve slices of cake with ice cream.
