• ¾ cup butter or 160 g, melted
• 1¼ cups plain flour or 175 g
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 tin NESTLÉ® Sweetened Condensed Milk or 397 g

• For the topping:

• 2 cups hazelnuts chocolate paste or 300 g
• 3 tablespoons hazelnuts, roughly crushed

Preparation

Combine all ingredients using an electric mixer. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes then on medium speed for another 2 minutes, or until mixture becomes smooth.

Pour mixture into a shallow 21cmx32cm greased baking cake tin and line the base with baking paper. Bake in a 180°C preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch when pressed with a finger.

Remove from the tin and keep the cake top side up on wire rack until it cools.

Place hazelnut chocolate paste in a bowl over hot water until it melts.

Spread this topping over the cold cake and sprinkle crushed hazelnut over. Cut into squares and serve.
