Sprudel-Schokoladen-Kuchen

A picture named Sprudelkuchen.jpgMy lovely sister Nicole send me a really easy recipe for a Sprudel-Schokoladen-Kuchen (Sparkling Water Chocolate Cake). On the phone she said, it is really easy, everything is measured in cups (which in Europe it usually is measured ing grams.)


So I tried, and of course not everything was measured in cups, 200g of grained Hazelnut. I just did an approximation.


To the right you can see the result. It was really yummy.


Here is the recipe:



  • 200 grams crushed hazelnuts

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1 package vanilla sugar (I just took a couple of drops of vanilla extract)

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1 cup cacao

  • 1 cup sparkling mineral water :-)

  • 6 eggs

  • 1 cup of oil

Throw it all into a bowl and mix it up. (Lazy me used the bread machine for that.) Put it into a form and let it bake for 55 minutes at 180′C (~350′F). Use a toothpick to check whether it is ready. Enjoy.
