How to make Hazelnut and Walnut Cake
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the butter with sugar and egg yolks until well blended. Add half of the walnuts and hazelnuts, baking powder, flour, and chocolate chips to the mixture, stirring until combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with a mixer until they become foamy. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the walnut and hazelnut mixture, ensuring it’s well incorporated.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining half of the walnuts and hazelnuts over the top of the mixture.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into small squares. Serve the walnut and hazelnut squares warm or at room temperature.

I’m going nuts over this one!! Sorry I couldn’t resist that one. Love the recipe.
Nuts and chocolate not only make a great taste combo, but are also kinder on blood sugar spikes.
I love the ease of slicing sheet cakes in beautiful, even squares 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
I tried making this recipe, but the middle never fully cooked, and was kind of gummy. What size baking sheet do you use for the recipe?
