Hazelnut Cake Layers (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup honey, sweet and sticky
02 -
2 cups hazelnuts, ground up finely
03 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
04 -
16-20 sheets of phyllo dough
05 -
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
06 -
1/2 teaspoon cardamom spice
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Roast the hazelnuts until the aroma fills your kitchen, and their color deepens. Let them cool before blitzing them into a paste.
02 -
Brush melted butter across each phyllo layer, then sprinkle with the hazelnut mix between each sheet. Do this till you've used all the dough, keeping it flat.
03 -
In a pot, warm honey with water and add a squeeze of lemon. Simmer till it's slightly reduced and thick enough to coat a spoon.
04 -
Drizzle the syrup across the stacked phyllo layers and place the dish in the oven heated to 180°C. Cook until crisp and golden through.
05 -
Let everything cool down before cutting and serving slices. It pairs beautifully with a cup of mint tea or coffee.
# Notes:
01 -
Phyllo sheets dry out quickly—cover them with a damp cloth while you’re working.
