I’ve been making hot chocolate with hazelnut milk and it is soooo good so i wanted to see how that would work in a cake. You can’t actually taste that it’s hazelnut but it’s still good 😁
As chocolate cakes go this one is pretty healthy: vegan and free from refined sugar.

I added some chocolate-raspberry frosting... but the cake’s pretty moist so doesn’t really need it.
