Nusstorte

I loooove this cake! So simple yet so good that we decided to offer it this Autumn to our customers at Doll's Vis a Vis (the shop I work for oart-time and where I sell my sweets), in Salzburg. Where? Nonntaler Hauptstrasse 108. When? Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm. I baked this cake on Tuesday and today I was told to bake more because it is sold out!!! Yeah! Happy!

Ingredients:

100 gr. sugar

100 gr. butter

100 gr. grinded hazelnuts of which 1 tbs for decoration

250 gr. flour

2 eggs

1 tbs baking powder

6 tbs milk

chocolate for the frosting

Procedure:

In a mixer beat the butter with the sugar and a pinch of salt. When fluffy add the flour, baking powder, hazelnuts, and milk and beat until well incorporated. Then add the yolks and separately beat the whites to snow. Finally add these to your dough and mix. Put the batter in a mould and bake in the oven at 180°C for 45 minutes. In the meantime melt the chocolate and when your cake is ready and cool decorate.  

Enjoy and come visit me in Vis a Vis!

Nutellaholic

As I have already mentioned, I am Nutella addicted. But that's not enough, I now decided to commit suicide: I succeeded in making Nutella myself!!!

It's soooo good... and of course I named it "Martinella" ;)

The first jar of Nutella left the Ferrero factory in Alba (Piedmont, Italy) on 20 April 1964. 

The first jar of Martinella left the HsB in Salzburg (Austria) on 28 October 2011.

Enjoy ♥

 Buongiorno a questo giorno che si sveglia
oggi con me,

  buongiorno al latte ed al caffe',
buongiorno a chi non c'e'

e al mio amore buongiorno per dirle
che e' lei
che per prima al mattino veder io vorrei,

un giorno nuovo e spero che sia buono
anche per te.

Any sane person loves chocolate

Someone once said: "There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with chocolate."
 

Well in that case I guess I've been my boss' best friend today! As he had kindly wished I baked some brownies especially for him and I really made his day - and probably the one of his dentist too.

As a matter of fact my brownies are really good. I got the recipe from a dear lady named Bitti, but have already modified it to make it my own. Try it, I promise you'll be successful and satisfied...

Ingredients:

375 gr. dark baking chocolate

250 gr. margarine or butter

200 gr. sugar

200 gr. chopped hazelnuts or almonds

80 gr. spelt flour

5 eggs

Procedure:

In a small sauce pan, on low fire, melt the chocolate with the margarine and sugar. Then let it cool down for 10 minutes. At this point add the chopped hazelnuts, flour and eggs. Beat the mixture and don't let the eggs cook. When smooth put the batter in a baking tray with baking paper and in the oven at 180° C for exactly 20 minutes.

Once it's ready I suggest to eat it at room temperature with a dust of confectioners' sugar and a cup of black tea. Mmmmm it's so creamy and chocolish.

Forget love... I'd rather fall in chocolate!
