This gooey Hazelnut Praline Cake is intensely rich and fudgy. If you are a fan of Nutella, you’ll love this recipe.
This cake really is the absolute dream. Starting with a delicious fudgy and gooey base then topped with creamy coconut hazelnut praline. I love the creaminess of the hazelnut praline combined with the crunch from the pecan bits.
The blend of sweet dates along with coconut milk, hazelnut, hemp hearts, chocolate, maca and peanut butter makes this cake a sweet treat that you’ll be making again and again. The added bonus is that it’s full of the good stuff. All of these ingredients have plenty of nutritional benefits and help to boost your protein intake as well as added energy!
Lucky for me, I pretty much had the entire cake to myself. Again, this is one of those natural talents of mine to be able to consume copious amounts of chocolate without dying from an overdose;)
Some desserts don’t really need a huge introduction, or a lot of descriptive words to entice you. I feel like the pictures of this cake are more than enough.
As usual ➵ raw, vegan, dairy free, gluten free, refined sugar free and very yummy. I really hope you enjoy making this recipe.
