Hazelnut Cake with a Granola Topping

This cake is a  fairly healthy cake, loaded with hazelnuts and applesauce, and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:
1 9x13 inch (30x40 cm) Pyrex dish or deep baking dish
Some grease

For the batter:
250 g all-purpose flour
3 leveled teaspoons baking powder
125 g sugar
200 g ground hazelnuts
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
250 g soft butter or margarine
4 eggs
50 ml milk

For the topping:
350 g applesauce
200 g granola

For the glaze:
100 g apple jelly
1 tablespoon water

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350F). Grease Pyrex dish or deep baking dish.
2. Mix flour and baking powder, then sift into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients for the batter and using an electric hand mixer whisk everything until the batter is smooth (about 2 minutes).
3. Spread batter evenly into baking dish, then cover batter evenly with applesauce. Sprinkle granola on top, and bake cake at 180 degrees Celsius (350F) for about 25 minutes.
4. Remove cake from oven, and let cool down. Briefly bring apple jelly and water to a boil, and apply liquid glaze with a cake brush.

Serving suggestions:
Serve cake with freshly whipped cream.

Comments:
1. The cake is very nutty. If you like hazelnuts, you'll love this cake. If you don't like hazelnuts, stay away.
2. A suggestion made in the recipe book is to make the batter with rum instead of milk.
