How to Make Chocolate And Hazelnut Brownie Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  11. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a generous layer of whipped cream between the two layers and on top of the cake.
  12. Garnish with extra chopped hazelnuts, if desired.
