Another one of the more specific days, this one is celebrating just what it sounds like - hazelnut cake, or a cake made with hazelnuts.
Cakes can be made into hazelnut cakes by simply adding hazelnuts to the recipe. These would usually be chopped, but alternatively hazelnut flavouring or paste (paste is commonly used in confectionery) could be used to simply flavour the cake, perhaps with hazelnut pieces used to decorate it. The precise way in which they are used will differ depending on the recipe, but one thing they will all have in common is that they will have hazelnuts in them somewhere.
Hazelnuts, like so many things with "nut" in the name, are not botanical nuts, but are culinary nuts. They come from the hazel tree and, like so many nuts - whether true or culinary - are a good source of nutrients, and are rich in protein and unsaturated fat.
