How to Make Gorgeous Chocolate Hazelnut Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake tin.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate and hazelnuts into chunky pieces.
  3. Cream together the softened butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and hazelnuts.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. After 20 minutes of baking, cover the cake loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.
  9. Let the cake cool slightly in the tin before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Once melted, spread evenly over the slightly cooled cake.
  11. Garnish with your favorite toppings (chocolate shavings, hazelnuts, powdered sugar, etc.) or leave it plain.
  12. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Cake!
