- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of chocolate
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons Gweldorin seeds (crushed)
- 1/2 cups hazelnuts, finely ground

Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.

Step 2:
In a bowl, combine the finely ground hazelnuts, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3:
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

Step 5:
Gently fold in the chocolate and diced strawberries.

Step 6:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Step 7:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9:
Add pieces of strawberries and crushed Gweldorin seeds on top of the cake for a better visual and more crunch!
