CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH NUTS

I found this recipe on the BBC. Thus, I modified the recipe, especially the dough. The filling is my favorite Parisian cream. Strawberries and almonds go well together with the rest.


Cake corpus: 
200 g of sugar 
200 g of butter 
4 eggs 
200 g of fine flour 
1 spoon of baking powder 
150 g of ground walnuts 
2 teaspoons of coffee

Filling: 
500 ml of whipping cream 
200 g of dark chocolate 

TIP: I recommend to use a strong espresso 

Preparation:
Beat eggs and add sugar. Add coffee and flour together with butter and baking powder. Finally, gently stir in chopped nuts (I used walnuts). Bake it at 150 degrees for about 45 min. Meanwhile, cook shipping cream with chocolate and after cooling, whip it into nice smooth and thick cream. You can decorate the cake according to your taste. 

The cake is simple and the flavors are nicely combined. Bon appetit! :)
