Nut cake with raspberries and chocolate

08.08.2025

Hi,

Weekend soon and still some summer days left to enjoy! 😍 I am spending the last days of my holiday in the north of Italy and have now arrived in beautiful Brescia. Before I go out to explore this lovely city, I have a tip for you for an easy, yet very delicious cake. This is a moist nut base covered with sweet, whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and chopped chocolate. A great cake to make with beautiful Norwegian raspberries!

Ingredients:

Nut Cake:
♥ 75 g butter
♥ 2 dl sugar
♥ 2 eggs
♥ 100 g hazelnuts, ground
♥ 50 g hazelnuts, chopped
♥ 1.5 dl wheat flour
♥ 2 tsp baking powder
♥ 2 tbsp vanilla sugar
♥ 1 dl milk

Cream:
♥ 3 dl heavy cream
♥ 1 tbsp powdered sugar

Decoration:
♥ 300 g fresh raspberries
♥ 30 g dark chocolate

Method:

Nut cake:

Whisk soft butter and sugar. Add the eggs and continue whisking until you get a light and thick buttercream.

Grind 100 g of hazelnuts using an almond grinder until they are finely ground. Coarsely chop 50 g of hazelnuts.

Mix this together with the wheat flour, baking powder, and vanilla sugar.

Fold this into the buttercream together with the milk and stir until you have a smooth and lump-free batter.

Put the cake batter in a round mold (22 cm in diameter) with baking paper at the bottom. Smooth the surface.

Bake the cake on a rack in the middle of the oven at 170°C for about 35 minutes.

Cool the cake completely in the mold (see tips). Loosen the cake from the mold, turn it over onto a cake platter and remove the baking paper. Place the cake base on a cake platter.

Cream and decoration:

Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar into a thick cream. Spread the cream over the cake.

Decorate with fresh raspberries and chopped chocolate.

A classic nut cake with cream and berries never goes out of style! 😊

Tips:

♥ It is wise to let the cake cool completely before taking it out of the cake mold. It becomes firmer and easier to remove from the mold without breaking. It is also important that the cake is completely cooled before covering it with whipped cream, otherwise, the cream will melt.

♥ The nut cake can be made the day before serving and can also be frozen. However, the cake should be served on the same day it is covered with cream and fresh raspberries.

♥ The cake can of course also be topped with other types of berries.

Enjoy!

Tips

♥ It is wise to let the cake cool completely before removing it from the cake pan. This makes it firmer and easier to remove from the pan without it breaking. It's also important that the cake is completely cooled before you cover it with whipped cream, otherwise the cream will melt.

♥ The nut cake can preferably be made the day before serving, and it can also be frozen. However, the cake should be served on the same day it's covered with cream and fresh raspberries.

♥ The cake can of course also be topped with other types of berries.
