Honey & hazelnut slice

The combination of roasted hazelnuts and honey is reminiscent of brittle, but here it appears nestled in a soft, creamed sponge. The hazelnuts sprinkled on top roast during baking, releasing an intense aroma, while the honey caramelises from within, keeping the cake moist and succulent.
