Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Chocolate shavings for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add in the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat for about 2 minutes on medium speed until well combined.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (don’t worry, it’s supposed to be thin!).
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, beat the heavy cream and hazelnut spread together until fluffy and smooth.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of hazelnut frosting over the top.
- Top with the second layer and then frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining hazelnut cream.
- If you’re feeling fancy, decorate with chocolate shavings and serve!
