Then bake for about 30 mins (half way through baking add the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes, see next step below) until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, roughly rub together the light muscovado sugar, plain flour and butter. Mix in the roughly chopped blanched hazelnuts. Half-way through baking, sprinkle the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes.

Spread the butter cream over the bottom of the sponge that doesn't have the streusel on top and sandwich the two halves of the cake. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.
