   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2  pound         whole hazelnuts
      1/2  pound         granulated sugar
      1/2  pound         sweet butter
      1/2  pound         all purpose flour -- mixed with
      1/2  teaspoon      baking powder
      1/2  pound         bittersweet chocolate -- melted
    1                    egg (1 to 2 eggs)
    6      ounces        seedless raspberry jam
 
 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roast the hazelnuts until they smell
 toasty. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Rub off the skins
 and cool the nuts another 15 minutes. 
 In a food processor grind the nuts with the sugar until finely ground but
 not pasty. With your hands work in the butter, flour and chocolate together.
 Add the eggs, one at a time. You just need the egg to hold the dough
 together; you may need only 1. 
 Butter a 13 1/2 x 5 x 2 1/2 inch deep meatloaf pan. Spread about 2/3 of
 dough in the bottom and up the sides of the pan, spread the jam in the
 middle and top with more dough. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, reduce
 heat to 350 degrees and bake 5 minutes more, then reduce heat to 300 and
 bake for 1 hour longer or 1 1/4 hours in all. To test insert a cake tester
 in dough and it should come out dry. Can be made days ahead of time. 
 Yield: 12 to 16 servings
