Method
Chocolate sponge (first):
Blitz all ingredients together in food processor. Pour into lined baking tray 24cm x 40 cm and level off. Cook at 180°C for 10 minutes.
Soak gelatine in cold water. Melt chocolate and glucose under lights. Drain gelatine and add to chocolate/glucose. Warm milk in a pan and whisk sugar and yolks. Whisk ½ hot milk into sugar and yolks then return to pan and cook to a custard (low heat) until it coats the back of a spoon. Pour hot custard mix onto chocolate mix and stir until comes together and smooth. Pour into baking tray over sponge base and chill.
Serve with whipped cream and broken hazelnuts.
