Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Ground hazelnuts
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Warm the whole milk slightly (it should be lukewarm, not hot). Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces to allow it to soften.

Step 2

Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the manufacturer-recommended order. Typically, liquids go in first (milk, eggs, vanilla extract), followed by dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, ground hazelnuts, cinnamon). Make a small well in the flour and add the instant dry yeast.

Step 3

Select the dough setting on your bread machine and start the process. This typically includes mixing, kneading, and a first rise (around 90 minutes to 2 hours).

Step 4

Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine. Lightly grease a round 9-inch cake pan or a springform pan.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a round or smooth it into the greased pan evenly. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 30-45 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the risen dough in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Optional: Dust the top of the hazelnut yeast cake with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finish.

Step 9

Slice and serve as a delightful treat with coffee, tea, or your favorite spread.
