For the Frosting:
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup Nutella
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for thinning)
For Decoration:
- 10-12 Ferrero Rocher chocolates
- ½ cup crushed hazelnuts
- Chocolate ganache (optional, for drizzling)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this ensures a moist cake.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Hazelnut Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the Nutella and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the finely chopped hazelnuts. Refrigerate the filling for 15 minutes to thicken slightly.
3. Prepare the Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the Nutella and continue beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- If needed, add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
