Hazelnut and chocolate cake

After last week's chocolate "sin", some more chocolate tastes were requested by close friends and family members...And of course, I can't say no to them...;)
So this week i made a hazelnut and chocolate cake..with full flavour and wonderful aroma..
Recipe is from "Chocolate Book" by Christine McFadden and Christine France.
Ingredients:
150 gr plain chocolate broken into squares
115 gr unsalted, softened butter
115 gr caster sugar
4 eggs, separated
115 gr ground lightly toasted hazelnuts
50 gr fresh breadcrumbs
grated rind of 1 1/2 oranges
30 ml warmed, sieved marmalade
60 gr chopped hazelnuts for decoration
For the icing:
150 gr plain chocolate broken into squares
50 gr butter
Preparation:
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until white and fluffy. Gradually add the egg yolks, beating well. Beat in the melted chocolate, then the hazelnuts, breadcrumbs and orange rind. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and then fold into the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to whisk the egg whites too much. Transfer into a 23 cm buttered cake pan. Bake for 40-45 mins in preheated oven at 180C, until set.
Remove from the oven, cover with a damp dish towel for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cold.
For the icing preparation, place the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie and stir until smooth. Leave until cool and thick. Spread the cake with the marmalade, then the icing. Sprinkle over the nuts, then leave to set.

Good luck!!
