Preparation

Remove the skin from the almonds and walnuts. Toast the hazelnuts in the oven for a few minutes then peel them.

Crush the dried fruits roughly together with the pine nuts and the candied orange peels. Mix them all together in a bowl and add the raisins, the nutmeg, the flour, the cocoa, the sugar and the pepper.

After having mixed everything together well, grate the chocolate and add it to the mixture. Melt the honey in a saucepan then add it to the bowl and work the mixture well with a wooden spoon.

Grease an oven dish lightly then put the mixture inside in a dome shape. Bake in the oven at 180° for 30 minutes.

Take the cake out of the oven and let it rest in a dry place.

    
 
The Chef's tips If you want to peel the dried fruit easily, scald it for a few minutes in boiling water.
