Chocolate Cake with Caramelized Mixed Nuts

 

Chocolate Cake with Caramelized nust.

Ingredients:

• 300 g chocolate (200 g dark chocolate and 100 g milk chocolate)
• 100 g butter
• 200 g all-purpose flour (Type 650)
• A pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp vanilla sugar
• 100 g cane sugar
• 3 eggs
• 250g mixed nuts (such as the INFINUTY Classic Mixed Nuts blend)
• 6–8 tbsp fruit jam, preferably yellow or orange varieties such as gooseberry, sea buckthorn, or apricot jam

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, vanilla sugar, and cane sugar.
Add the eggs and mix until incorporated.

2. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until you have a smooth,
thick batter.

3. Transfer the batter to a springform cake pan lined with baking paper and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the chopped mixed nuts over the top, gently pressing them into the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 15 minutes.

4. Remove the cake from the oven. Spread the nuts with the fruit jam. If the jam is too thick, gently warm it in a small saucepan with a splash of water until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Return the cake to the oven and continue baking for 25–30 minutes, or until fully baked. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
