9 oz hazelnuts 5 oz butter 6 oz powdered sugar 4 eggs 2 oz flour 1 tsp baking powder
FOR THE GLAZE: 4 oz Powdered
sugar 1 tsp Rum 1 tbl Hot water
A few whole hazelnuts
Grind the hazelnuts and set aside.
Separate the eggs and beat the yolks with the butter until creamy. Mix
the flour with the baking powder, add the ground nuts and then add all
of this to the egg yolk mixture. Beat the egg whites until very stiff;
fold into the flour-egg yolk mixture carefully by hand. Grease muffin tins
and fill the cups half full with batter. Bake at moderate heat (325F)
for 25 minutes. Don't open the oven door or they will fall. Take out of
the oven and cool completely before removing them from the pans.
For the glaze: Glaze the cakes and decorate with a whole hazelnut on top.
