My next door neighbor had no idea what Nutella was, so I brought out the jar. There were more converts.

I’m still amazed how easily impressed people are. If I had a nickel for every time I heard, “You made homemade whipped cream? Wow!” I’d have, well maybe a quarter.

Other things I learned from making this cake: Hazelnuts are also called Filberts, and they taste terrible raw.

Get some whole grain raisin bread. Spread a slice of it with Nutella (which we pronounce “New-TELL-ah”, but a good friend of mine always used to pronounce “New-TRELL-ah” until I gently pointed out to her that there’s no “r” in it). Eat the raisin bread with Nutella. Get another slice of raisin bread. . .etc. until you run out of either raisin bread or Nutella. It’s like a Raisinet sandwich or something.

Well, more correctly, the Common Hazel (_Corylus maxima_) and the Filbert (_C. avellana_) are two different species, but they just differ in some aspects of nut enclosure, and the taste is (reportedly, at any rate) indistinguishable. But it’s usually _C. maxima_ that’s farmed commercially, and is a key plant in the old English hedgerow systems.

All nuts are better roasted, I can’t think of a one I didn’t prefer that way.
