Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees, and butter a 9-inch springform pan.
- Mix the sugar with the vanilla extract to make vanilla sugar. Make sure to break apart any lumps that form.
- Now mix 2 tbsp of the vanilla sugar with the hazelnuts. Add them to a food processor or grinder and blend until the nuts form a fine powder.
- Mix the 6 egg yolks with the rest of the vanilla sugar and whisk for 2 minutes. Then add the hazelnut mixture, then gradually add the melted butter. Keep whisking.
- Now sift the flour over the batter and stir gently until just blended. Don't overmix; this is a thick batter and you don't want it to turn out rock hard.
- Put the batter in the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Brush the egg glaze over the top, then draw some cross hatches with a fork.
- Bake at 325 for about an hour, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes, then loosen the springform pan and allow to cool completely. Serve with whole strawberries.

THE BRITTANY
I like this recipe because it has marshmallows. The name came from a camping trip where the sandwich was invented. We were making fluffernutter sandwiches, but ran out of fluff. We came up with the idea to use whole marshmallows, but to "grill" the sandwich to melt them like fluff. Brittany was the first to eat it. Hence the name :)! If you want to spice it up, or just to add a little more health and flavor, you can add sliced bananas. Then it's called the Katlyn.

Steps:
- Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread.
- If you are using fluff, spread a very thin layer on the other slice.
- Place the marshmallows on one slice and squish them together.
- Spread the butter on the outsides of both slices and "grill" in a pan over medium heat (flipping halfway through) until the bread is toasted golden brown on both sides and the marshmallows are melted. They may be slightly solid still, but it's good anyway.

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT GATEAU
Gateau (pronounced ga-toe) is the French word for any rich and fancy cake. I think you'll agree that this dense chocolate dessert fits the bill, with just the right amount of sweetness. -Michelle Krzmarzick, Torrance, California

GâTEAU BRETON
With its soft, buttery crumb, this classic French cake is similar to a giant shortbread, though moister and more tender. Its hidden prune filling is traditional, although you can use other dried fruit, such as apricot, instead. In France you sometimes even see bakers sandwiching melted chocolate or caramel between the layers. This keeps well if you want to bake it 1 or 2 days ahead. Store it well wrapped at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine prunes, rum and 2 tablespoons water. (Use 1 cup/240 milliliters water if using dried apricots.) Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed (about 5 minutes for prunes, 10 to 15 for apricots). Use a fork to mash into a thick purée. Cover and chill.
- In a food processor, pulse to combine flour, sugar and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add 5 egg yolks and pulse until mixture comes together as a dough. Divide in half, form into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap, roll one of the dough halves into an 8-inch circle. Transfer dough to prepared cake pan, pressing into edges. Spread prune or apricot purée across dough, leaving 3/4 inch border around outside edge. Roll second piece of dough into an 8-inch circle, transfer to cake pan, press around outside edge to stick the pieces together and seal in fruit purée.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water and beat lightly. Brush over top of cake, then use a fork to score a crisscross pattern into the dough. Bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes (cover with foil if cake is browning too quickly). Cool in pan 15 minutes. Flip onto a plate, then invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
