The cakes are done when the edges are gold and have pulled away from the sides of the pan and also a try comes out clean or with a couple of crumbs.

To create the chocolate ganache
Put the finely chopped dark chocolate in a warm safe mixing bowl.
- In a small pot heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt before it comes to a very low simmer.
- When simmering, pour over the chopped chocolate and then rotate the bowl to submerge the chocolate.
- Allow to cool about half an hour at room temperature, then cover and set in the refrigerator --put plastic wrap to touch the top of the ganache to stop it from forming a skin. Allow to completely cool, at least 4 hours ideally overnight.

NOTES
- *To earn hazelnut meal: toast hazelnuts in 325 ºF for around 15 minutes, or until the nuts are fragrant and a shade or two darker. Then rub on the hazelnuts from the towel to eliminate the majority of the skin. Do not be concerned. When cool, grind nuts in a food processor to produce a meal. Note: 1 cup whole hazelnuts = 1 1/4 cup floor.
- *To quantify your bread by quantity: scatter the bread from the container to reverse any pruning, then garnish together with all the measuring cup and level with the back of a butter knife.
- I used Frangelico for the hazelnut liqueur.
- *To decorate this cake that I added hazelnuts in addition to scatter a few on the top of the cake. Additionally, I topped it coating a number of the facilities in many others along with cocoa powder .
