- Add in the melted dark chocolate and blend until smooth, scrapping down the sides as needed.
- Add in the hazelnut meal, tapioca starch and baking powder. Blend until combined and a uniform thick batter forms.
- Quickly transfer the batter into the spring form pan and smooth out the tops. Be sure to work quickly as the chocolate will begin to firm up.
- Bake in the oven for 38-40 minutes. Let it cool on the counter until room temperature. Then place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours- preferably overnight. Dust with cocoa powder and serve alone or with coconut whip cream.
