Ingrédients

200 g dark chocolate

100 g hazelnuts, finely ground

3 large eggs, separated

100 g unsalted butter

100 g sugar

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale and thick.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly.
Add the hazelnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and hazelnut liqueur, and mix until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three parts, until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cake is set but still slightly soft in the center. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
For the mousse, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the remaining chocolate mixture until evenly blended.
Once the cake is cool, spread the mousse evenly over the top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
