This old Turkish recipe has been modernised with Sprite. The hazelnuts will all rise to the top of the cake giving a scrumptious and crunchy top coat.

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C. Whip up the icing sugar and eggs until they are thoroughly mixed.
-
To that mixture, slowly and preferably about 50 ml per addition add the Sprite. Making sure you are mixing the ingredients with a wooden spoon and swirling slowly.
-
In the third step add the flour through a sieve. This will make the flour more airy and your cake fluffier. Add the hazelnuts to the mixture.
-
Lightly grease the cake tin then sprinkle some of the sugar inside the tin. This will give a great texture to the bottom and sides of the cake. Place the cake batter in the tin.
-
Place the tin in your pre-heated oven for roughly 40-45 minutes. For the Sprite to work its magic please do not open the oven door unless you are sure the cake is baked.
Quick tip:
If you sit the ingredients out in the room temperature 15 minutes before cooking they blend better.
Optional:
- Some lemon and orange peel works well.
- You can set some of the batter aside, mix that with cocoa powder and add to the mixture before it is baked to get a marble cake effect.
- Caramelise the remaining hazelnuts and sugar to decorate the cake.
