Hazelnut Cake (No Butter, No Flour)

Submitted by MarieFromSweden

"A fast and easy coffee cake. The most work is the grinding of the nuts, but that doesn't take long. Good for lactose and gluten intolerants. I often make this for my mother-in-law who is 100% milk protein intolerant."

This receipe works exactly as it is. I was a bit sceptical but 25 minutes later a perfect cake appears in the oven. After it cools I'll frost it with a cream cheese frosting and serve it cold. I did use extra large eggs and commercially ground hazelnut flour.
