Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and, using the electric mixer on medium speed, beat until well blended.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Sprinkle the hazelnuts evenly over the top and press down gently to lodge the nuts into the batter.
