Swiss Hazelnut Cake - #TheCakeSliceBakers

Image
For this month's Cake Slice Bakers bake, I selected the Swiss Hazelnut Cake.  It has two layers with ground hazelnuts mixed into the batter and filled and frosted with a delicious frosting made in part with marshmallow cream and hazelnut liqueur. Bittersweet chocolate covers the outside.  The instructions say to use a food processor to shave the chocolate.  I don't own a food processor, so I chopped the chocolate. In general, I was pretty happy with this cake.  The cake was tasty and moist, and I really liked the texture with the ground hazelnuts.  The frosting was also good, though a little sweet, but it completely lacked hazelnut flavor.  Also, I think the cake would have been better overall if the chocolate had been sandwiched in between the layers to better cut the sweetness of the frosting.
