* Preheat oven to 190 C, 375 F, Gas mark 4.* Prepare the hazelnuts and 175 g (6 oz) of the chocolate by roughly chopping them.* Put the butter and remaining chocolate in a bowl and place over a saucepan of simmering water.

* Beat well when mixture has melted and allow to cool slightly.

* Beat together the eggs and sugar in a separate bowl, then add the cooled chocolate mixture. Beat until thoroughly combined.

* Fold in the flour and the chopped ingredients into the beaten mixture.

* Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 30 minutes until springy to the touch and the centre should still be a little soft.

* Allow to cool in the tin then turn out onto a plate.

* This could be enjoyed as a sweet with chocolate custard!

* Enjoy
