Rosie's Hazelnot Showstopper

Rosie's Hazelnot Showstopper

To celebrate the launch of the new NOMO Hazelnot Smooth Choc Bar, we asked our friend, and former Bake Off Semi Finalist Rosie Brandreth, to create a delicious nut free and vegan cake recipe for us. Rosie is also a passionate nut allergy advocate and so this recipe is suitable for people with nut allergies.

If you would like to find out more about Rosie and her delicious Free From recipes, head over to her instagram page or check our her website. As well as being a star baker, Rosie is also a Vet (talk about talented!) and has a gorgeous dog called Ralph who also loves to bake!

You can find Hazelnot Smooth in selected Sainsbury's stores or online

Enjoy!

  • 300ml oat milk

  • 280g caster sugar
  • 280g self raising gluten free flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 30g dark cocoa powder

Vegan and Allergy Friendly

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160C
  2. Mix the oat milk and vinegar in a small bowl, set aside to separate slightly
  3. Beat together the sugar, margarine and vanilla
  4. Add the flour, bicarb and cocoa and mix well
  5. Stir in the milk mix
  6. Bake for 30 minutes if using sandwich tins (3 x 6 inch or 2 x 7 inch) or about 45 minutes if making one large cake. Once baked a skewer inserted into the middle will come out clean
  7. Cool completely on a wire rack before decorating
To decorate:
  1. Make the buttercream by beating the icing sugar and margarine together, add the cocoa and melted Hazelnot smooth bars, if you are transporting the cake and want a firmer set buttercream, add an extra chocolate bar!
  2. Add extra cocoa to any leftover buttercream for contrast and decorate with more chocolate!
