  • While continuing to beat, pour in the oil and almond milk (replaceable with another plant-based drink), and sifted flour with the baking powder. Lower the speed and blend again.

  • Finely chop half of the hazelnuts with a knife or using a kitchen mixer and add them into the mixture. Mix with a spatula.

  • Oil and flour a 9.5-inch diameter springform pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and decorate with the remaining hazelnuts coarsely chopped with a knife.

  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 35 minutes. Always do the toothpick test before removing from the oven: if it comes out dry, the cake is done.
