- 1 1/4 cups/ 140g ground hazelnuts

Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, place a parchment paper on a round baking pan then grease with cooking oil, set aside. Separate the egg white from its yolk. Using the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the egg yolks and the sweetener then heat for about five minutes on a high setting until the mixture becomes thick. Add in the melted chocolate and beat again to combine. Add in the ground hazelnuts then fold in, set aside.
- Whisk/beat the egg whites for about four to five minutes on a medium-high setting until there is a formation of stiff peaks. Scoop the egg into the nut mixture then fold in. Pour the cake batter in the prepared pan and bake the cake in the preheated oven for about twenty-five to thirty minutes until baked through and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cake cool for about ten minutes then cool completely on a wire rack. Frost with the chocolate mousse, garnish with berries, and serve.
