How To Make royal chocolate nut cake

1
Melt chocolate chips in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water; cool to lukewarm. Beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar in large mixer bowl on high speed until thick. Reduce speed to low; blend in lukewarm chocolate. Stir in 1 cup of the ground hazelnuts and the vanilla. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar in large mixer bowl until foamy; add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into chocolate mixture; fold in remaining 1 cup hazelnuts.

2
Pour into ungreased 10 inch tube pan with removable bottom. Bake at 350 for 60-65 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly. Invert cake over funnel or bottle until completely cool. Loosen cake from side and bottom of pan with knife; invert onto serving plate. Frost with Choco Nut Cream Frosting. Chill.
