Who May Find This Useful
Consultants looking for alternative recipe ideas for clients with nut allergies or those interested in rice cooker baking techniques may find this discussion relevant.
Well if your host is alergic to nuts, I would suggest that you do not make this cake. Besides the nuts on the outside, you also use a hazelnut spread to make the cake. If you want to demo the rice cooker, just make a rice cooker cake mixing up a chocolate cake, then dumping in half a can of chocolate frosting. Do a search on the rice cooker, should give you loads of recipe ideas.
