National Hazelnut Cake Day

National Hazelnut Cake Day celebrates the rich, nutty flavor of hazelnut cake each year on June 1. Hazelnuts—also known as filberts—have a slightly sweet taste that makes them well suited to baking, and they can be used in cakes in several forms. One account of the observance encourages enjoying hazelnut-based desserts by baking at home or choosing a store-bought treat.

The holiday’s exact founding date and founder are unknown. Its subject, however, has a long culinary history: hazelnuts have been eaten for thousands of years and remain a versatile ingredient in baking and confectionery. Hazelnut Cake Day’s history is still being researched, so claims about the observance’s origin should be treated cautiously.

How to Observe National Hazelnut Cake Day

Celebrate by baking a hazelnut cake or picking one up from a bakery. Try a cake made with ground or chopped hazelnuts, enjoy a slice with coffee, and share the dessert with family or friends. You can also look for a new hazelnut cake recipe and experiment with variations featuring chocolate, coffee, caramel, or fruit.
