I still think this cake can look better, but the taste & texture is fantastic.
Here is the recipe adapted from a Hazelnut Concord Cake I learned in France with Barbara Pool Fenzl at La Combe. I now call it:

We were honored to be asked again to be the Master of Ceremonies for the Wine Country Brunch, one of many great events at The Scottsdale Culinary Festival which is held at the Scottsdale Resort & Conference center. It was a great event with a competition for best brunch. The winner was Amuse Bouche Gourmet Bistro & Catering at 17058 W. Bell Rd in Surprise. We were so happy for Kierstin & Snir Mor the Chef/Owners. They had a great spread with quiche, a corned beef hash benedict & a small yogurt granola parfait with an addictive Almond Financier. YUM It was a great event. A successful silent auction and some delicious food & wine. The other contestants did an amazing job: Thanks to: The Village Tavern in Scottsdale, Tryst Cafe in Phoenix, and Over Easy in Phoenix. The Scottsdale Resort & Conference center outdid themselves. Thanks Danielle & Brittany your crew was amazing.

Ross from Salernos and Ricky from Kona Grill along with John Bently from the East Valley Home & Garden show showed us all a great time.
Salernos 3921 East Guadalupe Road # 9 Gilbert, AZ , donated all of the food for lunch. Listeners paid for lunch and 100% of the money collected was donated to the St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance. I had the privilege of calling St’ Mary’s & Donating $640.00. I know they can use it Thank YOU! Here is the event captured in photos and some of the fun vendors we met.
John Bently not only puts on a good show, but also had the goodies from Salernos.
