Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/ fan 160C. Butter and line the base of a 20cm round cake tin.

  • step 2

    Put the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and milk into a bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes, or with an electric hand mixer for 1-2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

  • step 3

    Tip three quarters of the mixture into the tin, spread it level, then spoon the chocolate hazelnut spread on in four blobs. Top with the remaining mixture, swirl a few times with a skewer, then smooth to cover the chocolate spread.

  • step 4

    Sprinkle with the nuts. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until risen, nicely browned, feels firm to touch and springs back when lightly pressed (cover with foil if it starts to brown too quickly). Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out, peel off the paper and cool on a wire rack. Wrap tightly in double thick foil to keep fresh for up to a week.

tip

Great cake - I substituted 20 grams of cocoa powder for 20 grams flour for extra chic flavour and colour. Highly recommended

So easy to make and tasty redult. Certainly Christmassy with the cinnamon.

Has anyone frozen their cake?, not sure if it would affect taste.

Hi, this will freeze well for up to a month. Just make sure it's well wrapped in a double layer of cling film and/or foil. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Has anyone frozen their cake to eat at later stage, not sure how it would store.
