Recipe: chocolate hazelnut cake

[PretLea]

I’ve just had the most delicious dessert. It was a Mr Prempy’s chocolate and hazelnut vegan cake. It was cheesecake like and incredibly smooth and silky. I’m quite well-versed in making vegan, raw sweet bars and cakes but I’ve never had anything as delicious as this. It tasted a lot like Nutella, and really rich. The list of ingredients are: Hazelnuts, maple syrup, cashews, water, raw cacao powder, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, buckwheat, dates, vanilla essence*. I suspect it’s something to do with soaking the cashews and then processing them, but was hoping someone might have a tried and tested recipe like this?

This one? It looks delicious

In terms of texture, this one looks very similar but looks like a lot of work

I might give this one a go

or even this one, which looks easy but they say taste similar to Ferrero Rocher

That’s the one @Dedontdodatderdode It was incredibly good. The texture was similar to the first one, you are right, but possibly not such a good match on ingredients.

Sophie Grigson, Nigel Slater and Nigella all have very good ones. Sophie's is my favourite. Uses hazelnut flour as well.

Thanks @PAFMO I recently made an almond flour cake by Rachel Allen, which was also delicious, but more cake-like in nature. This was more velvety cheesecake.

Blimey that sounds good. I've promised DD a chocolate dessert over the next few days...might go for it!

Maybe I should re-phrase and ask if anyone has a tried and tested vegan chocolate cheesecake recipe they can recommend? One with hazelnuts would be a bonus.
