It's delicate on the inside and deliciously crunchy on the outside. Hazelnut Cake is my plan for this year's family gatherings and also an idea for a sweet Sunday snack to enjoy with your afternoon coffee. The preparation method is so straightforward you won't believe it. And besides the nuts, the cake includes one more specifically chosen ingredient — bananas.
