Buttermilk Chocolate Cake With Hazelnuts

The other day I was looking through my old recipe book that I started as a teenager watching my grandma and my aunts.

I came across a recipe for Buttermilk Chocolate cake and suddenly the memories of eating it at my aunt’s house popped into my head. I remember how much I used to love it and suddenly I could taste it.

I happened to have a carton of Buttermilk in my fridge (what good European doesn’t?). I decided to make it.

It is probably the easiest cake I ever made and the taste in unforgettable. It is soft, moist with hint of cocoa and taste of crunchy hazelnuts.
