Mini Orange and Chocolate Triangles with Hazelnuts

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 3h.

This recipe is based on the typical dough used for many kinds of cakes and cookies: 1 measure of icing sugar, 2 measures of butter and 3 measure of flour. The icing sugar makes it easier to knead the dough. The result was pretty good. The triangles tasted good and were very beautiful. Next time, I want to try with pistachios instead of hazelnuts, I think it will give it even more color and originality!

Ingredients

• 200g of butter
• 100g of icing sugar
• salt
• 1 egg
• 300g of flour
• 1 tablespoon of orange zest
• 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
• grounded cinnamon
• grounded cloves
• 100g of dark chocolate
• 50mL of cream
• 20g of chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

1. Mix well the butter with the icing sugar and a hint of salt. Add the yolk and the flour. Mix well.
2. Divide the dough in 2 equal parts. Knead one half with the orange zest and the other half with the cocoa, a hint of cinnamon and a hint of clove. Let both doughs stand for about 2h in a cool place.
3. Cover a baking tray with baking paper and spread the orange dough on it.
4. Whip slightly the eggwhite and spread it on the dough. Cover with the cocoa dough.
5. To prepare the frosting, melt the chocolate in the microwave with a bit of water and add the cream. Then spread over the cake.
6. Cover with hazelnuts and bake in a pre-heated oven for 15 min at 180ºC.
