Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F and grease and line a pan with parchment paper. My pan was ⌀18cm/7 inches.
  2. Using a food processor or mini chopper, process the ingredients for the middle layer until a little more corse than nut flour consistency. Set aside.
  3. For the streusel layer, process the hazelnuts, oats, sugar, and salt until medium chunky. Transfer to a bowl. Using your fingers, pinch together the nut mixture, butter, and flour to a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
  4. For the cake, start by melting the butter in a small sauce pan. Stir in the milk and instant coffee and set aside.
  5. Whip the eggs and sugar white and fluffy. Sift and fold in the remaining ingredients.
  6. Carefully fold in the butter mixture and fold in to a smooth batter.
  7. Transfer half the batter to the prepared pan. Top with the middle hazelnut layer. Spread the remaining batter onto and finish with crumbling the streusel on top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes in the bottom of the oven. Let cool, slice up, and enjoy!
