Hazelnut Cake with Fresh Mint Chocolate Pudding and a Creme Fraiche Whipped Cream

Hazelnut Cake with Fresh Mint Chocolate Pudding and a Creme Fraiche Whipped Cream

A light moist cake, with a tender crumb. The hazelnuts are ground down with the flour, creating more of a fine hazelnut crumb rather than pieces of hazelnuts dispersed throughout. The addition of orange zest is what really through it over the top for me. I am pretty content eating this cake on it's own for breakfast, or classing it up with chocolate pudding and whipped cream for dessert.

Orange Dark Chocolate Pudding

Orange Dark Chocolate Pudding

I spent the better part of yesterday looking for a pudding recipe. I was in the mood for something chocolate, with a hint of orange. I was longing to be reminded of a time when I lacked experience, wisdom, and judgement. A time when waking up at 5:00 am to whack a chocolate orange on the table to loosen its wedges, seemed completely appropriate.
