How to Prepare Coffee Glazed Chocolate Hazelnut Cake [Vegan]

To Make the Coffee Cream:
  1. Put all the coffee cream ingredients in a food processor and mix them well.
  2. Let it wait in the refrigerator for about 4 hours or overnight.

To Make the Cake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix, and set aside.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
  4. Add the liquid and dry mixes together and combine.
  5. Pour the batter in a cake mold lightly coated with oil, a five by seven-inch loaf pan if you have it.
  6. Bake for about 45-50 minutes. Keep an eye on it during baking. A toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake should come out clean to judge when it is done.
