For the cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Fahrenheit (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and line three 8-inch baking pans with baking parchment.
  • Then, combine the eggs, oil, kosher salt, Nutella, vanilla extract, sugar, and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well blended.
  • After, sift in the cocoa powder and stir in the hazelnuts. Mix until well blended.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Mix in the hot coffee until barely blended and no obvious lumps of flour remain.
  • Divide the mixture among three 8-inch baking pans; for even baking, use cake strips. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the icing from melting off the cake.

Make the Nutella buttercream

  • First, add room-temperature butter to a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the butter is light and fluffy.
  • Second, mix in half of the powder sugar and cocoa powder until well blended.
  • Then, mix in the remaining half of the powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Also, mix in the Nutella until everything is completely blended and smooth.

Make the chocolate ganache

  • In a small to medium mixing bowl, microwave the dark chocolate and heavy cream for about 50 seconds.
  • Allow 10 minutes for the chocolate and cream to melt before mixing until the chocolate ganache is silky smooth.

For the chocolate whipped cream

  • In a large cool mixing basin, combine the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, using a hand or stand mixer. Kindly make sure not to overmix the whipped cream, or it will turn into butter.

Assembly for Ferrero Rocher Cake

  • Pipe a small dab of frosting onto the area to be frosted. Place the first cake layer on top of the icing dot.
  • Spread a uniform layer of buttercream on top of the first cake layer with a spatula. Do again with the second cake layer, then top with the third.
  • Frost the cake with a very light coating of buttercream and throw it in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden. (This is known as the crumb coat)
  • Take the cake from the freezer and frost it with extra frosting (save some for the dollops) before placing it back in the freezer for another 10 minutes to harden.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake. With a spatula, gently push the ganache around the borders of the cake.
  • Dollop the chocolate whipped cream along the cake’s edges. A 1M piping tip was used.
  • Refrigerate each dollop of frosting after topping it with a Ferrero Rocher candy.
