Hazelnut Fruit Cake





Tweaked original recipe:
  • to reduce 200g of brown sugar to 170g
  • to reduce 100g ground almond to 75g
  • to replace 2 tbsp of treacle to 2 tbsp of hazelnut ganache

Result: sweetness is just right but cant really sense the aroma of hazelnut. perhaps next bake will not include any cinnamon & nutmeg powder so the spices' fragrance will not over power the hazelnut's fragrance.

Eileen ate it and commented that the moisture of the cake is just nice, even tho she is not a fruit cake lover.
