  • Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) generously with butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Turn pan so bread crumbs are evenly distributed. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat butter using an electric mixer on high speed for a few minutes until foamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sugar and vanilla sugar in batches. Beat batter for a few minutes until mixture is light and foamy. Mix in white wine.
  • Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix flour mixture into egg mixture quickly on low speed. Fold in hazelnuts and chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and level with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
