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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gradually stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this ensures a moist cake.
  5. 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.
  6. 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

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Nutella and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in the finely chopped hazelnuts. Refrigerate the filling for 15 minutes to thicken slightly.

3. Prepare the Frosting

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Add the Nutella and continue beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  4. If needed, add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
