After a super long holiday in Germany during October, it was quite difficult to get back to my baking. :p I can only salivate at all other food bloggers' good foods and bakes.

After thinking and browsing through the recipes, I finally decided to bake a simple tart - Hazelnut Bakewell Tart. I realised that hazelnut-related snacks are really cheap in Germany. They have abundant hazelnut snacks - chocolates, wafers, biscuits and what-have-yous. I also didn't hesitate to buy a packet of 200g ground hazelnut (crazy me). So for this tart, I decided to use all hazelnuts. I even used ground hazelnut for my tart crust. All in all, it's a wholesome hazelnut treat!
