Professor's Chocolatecake, or Professorns Chokladkaka in Swedish, is a classic Swedish cake that is often served at fikas (coffee breaks). This rich and decadent chocolate cake is easy to make and perfect for any occasion, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply satisfying your sweet tooth. The combination of chocolate, hazelnuts, and coffee creates a complex and delightful flavor profile that is sure to please everyone.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23-cm) cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2.	Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
3.	Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well between each addition.
4.	Sift the flour over the mixture and fold in gently. Mix in the chopped hazelnuts and instant coffee.
5.	Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
6.	Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
