I totally agree that Zooey is the quintessential hazelnut girl. This got me thinking about what kind of nut I’d be… only thing that came to mind was Corn Nuts, which is alarming.

Incidentally, I grew up calling them filberts. My grandparents always had them in their shells in the nut bowl that was always on the family room table – but they were from the South and I guess that’s the more common name regionally. As an adult in Chicago, I’d get sniggering when I referred to them this way, so hazelnuts they became!

Thanks for a great post and gorgeous photos!

Have always loved hazelnuts — and have always wondered why they never caught on.

This cake looks positively fantastic. Simple, but elegant. Definitely something I’d consider around the holidays… or just about ANY day, for that matter… if only I baked more often!

oh wow, hazelnuts and chestnuts. This is a serious cake, and right up my alley because it’s not too sweet. You have my vote!

That looks yummy! We had three “filbert” trees growing in our backyard growing up, and my mom always made a similar Filbert Cake. I’ve actually been pestering her recently for the recipe. :)
