Apple and chocolate pound cake
Today’s recipe is for an amazing apple and chocolate pound cake. It’s a super quick and easy cake to prepare. It remains delicious even few days after bakinf thanks to the addition of many pieces of apples that make it sweet and moist. There is nothing better for the weekend than a piece of chocolate apple cake and a steamy cup of coffee or tea.
For this recipe I used gianduia chocolate that I combined with the crunchy and delicious toasted hazelnut coating. If you are not a great lover of gianduia chocolate you can use the dark or even the milk one and cover your pound cake with almonds, chocolate chips, toasted nuts or simply, at the end of the baking, with powdered sugar.

Peel the apples and remove the core. Cut into bite size pieces and add to the prepared mixture. Stir in from the bottom to the top with a spoon.
Grease and lightly dust with flour your loaf pan or line it with baking paper. Pour the batter into the pan and level it with the spoon. Cover the surface with some chopped toasted hazelnuts.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 165 – 170 ° C for about an hour. Bake until the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before removing the cake from its pan. Serve once it cooled down and decorate, if you like, with some powdered sugar.
