1 Super softy moisty hazelnutty cake!

Here's what we do :

Sift flour & mix in a bowl with baking powder & hazelnut powder.

beat the egg whites until stif.

Add to the batter with a spatula carefully.

make the hazelnut icing by adding water to the icing sugar & hazelnut powder until the consistancy suits you (it shoudn't be to liquid).
