How to Make Pumpkin Hazelnut Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x1 1/2-inch round cake pans.
  2. Reserve 1 cup (240ml) of the pumpkin puree; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the remaining pumpkin puree with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl constantly.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients (excluding powdered sugar, whipping cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice) and beat on medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely (approximately 1 hour).
  8. In a chilled large bowl, beat the powdered sugar, whipping cream, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold in the reserved 1 cup (240ml) of pumpkin puree.
  10. Place one cake layer, rounded side down, on a serving platter.
  11. Spread half of the pumpkin cream over the first layer.
  12. Top with the second cake layer, rounded side up.
  13. Spread the remaining cream over the top layer.
  14. Garnish with very finely chopped hazelnuts (optional).
  15. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the torte to set.
