I use King Arthur's White Cake recipe, which includes vanilla & almond extracts. (I call it Vanilla Almond) A bride asked me if she could have a Vanilla Hazelnut cake instead of Vanilla Almond...I said yes, no problem, since I would just replace the almond with hazelnut.
I went to the store yesterday and could not find any hazelnut!!! I went online to the McCormick website and they do not even sell such a thing!! Now the wedding is tomorrow (it's a very small cake) and I don't know what to do?!
Any suggestions?! (I did buy hazelnut coffee creamer- ?)
You can use Hazlenut Liquor. I have for a wonderful cake.
Try one of these
- you can also use "Torani" it's a syrup but will work the same... I find this at World Market or Resturant Depot.
- Also I some times use "Nutella" which can be found in any supermarket.
- Lastly you can get Hazelnut flour at any chinese market and use it in your cake (use about 1/2 c of the hazelnut flour & take away 1/2 c from the regular flour in your recipe).
Let us know how it goes :0)

Thank you - Where can I find this?
Cakemom, thanks for your suggestions!
I usually buy the Nip bottles at the Liquor store. Baileys, Frangelico(hazelnut), Kahlua, Butterscotch Snapps, Limoncello. The possibilities are only limited to what is available
As much as I LOVE to soak cakes, or bake with alcohol in them, I try to use the oils more often than the liqueurs. There are a lot of people who don't want or can't have the alcohol content. The oils are a good option (IMHO) 
Also, many grocers (ie: Safeway, Kroger, Albertsons) have nut oils in their baking aisles, too. I don't know the brand, but there is one that carries walnut, hazelnut, and others. keep your eyes peeled, and good luck!
