The most painful part of this challenge: peeling the nuts! Boah that was a task! It took me hours to get them naked.
Thanks for this great challenge to Chris from Mele Cotte.

Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream - Daring Bakers
Luckily when I baked this month's challenge I still had a functional camera. However not annymore when I wanted to bake the Double DB, so this going to follow somewhen, soon. I loved the buttercream with the crunchy hazelnut parline paste. Oh and I was very happy to use my home made apricot jam in the cake. I remember as a child I always hated the idea of putting jam into a dessert, such as the Hungarian Zserbó, that my mom always baked, meanwhile I prepare it myself for Christmas and the jam may not be missing.

Your gateau is gorgeous and I'm so with you on the skinning of the nuts thing. That part was really just painful. Otherwise totally delicious.
