Preparation steps

For the cakes: heat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) 350°F gas 4. Grease and flour 6-12 mini bundt tins.

Combine the hazelnuts, light brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
3.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and set aside.
4.
Beat together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
5.
Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and half the yoghurt and beat to combine. Repeat. Add the final third of the flour mixture and beat until blended.
6.
Spoon 2- 3 tablespoons of the mixture into each Bundt tin and sprinkle each with 1-2 tablespoons of the hazelnut mixture. Top with the remaining cake mixture.
