In another, beat together butter and sugar.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks with salt.
Slowly add this to butter and sugar, mixing well.
Mix in sifted flour and baking powder, then espresso, hazelnut meal and vanilla.
Whisk egg whites until they form firm peaks and fold into the mixture.
Pour mixture into greased and floured cake mould.
Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top and bake in a preheated 180C oven for 45 minutes.
