Chocolate Nutella Cake

Whisk together the dry ingredients.

Whisk together the wet ingredients.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until all completely combined.

Add the hot coffee and stir until a thin batter forms.

Split the batter between two prepared cake rounds, then bake and cool.

Beat the Nutella and heavy whipping cream until light and fluffy, then fold in the toasted chopped hazelnuts.

Beat the butter and nutella until smooth.

Add the powdered sugar and whipped cream and beat until light, fluffy, and spreadable.

Pipe a frosting dam around the outside of the cake around. Do two layers so it can hold all of the filling!

Spread the hazelnut filling into the center.

Top with the second cake layer then add the remaining Nutella buttercream.

Cover the cake entirely, then smooth it out. Garnish with drizzles of melted Nutella and chopped hazelnuts.
