Ingredients

  • For the Cake:
  • 4 large eggs 🥚

  • 1 cup granulated sugar 🍬

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 🌾

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫

  • 1/4 tsp salt 🧂

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌟

  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 🥥

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar 🍭

  • 1/2 cup crushed Oreos 🍪

  • 1/2 cup chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates 🍫

  • For the Topping:
  • Additional crushed Oreos 🍪

  • M&M’s for decoration 🍬

  • Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional) 🍫

Directions

  • For the Chocolate Cake:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round baking pans. 🎂
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  • Carefully stir in boiling water—the batter will be thin, which is normal! Pour evenly into prepared pans.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. ❄️
  • For the Hazelnut Frosting:
  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter until creamy.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar and hazelnut spread, mixing until well combined.
  • Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy. 🎉
  • For the Ganache Drizzle:
  • Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
  • Pour the hot cream over chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  • Assembling the Cake:
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of hazelnut frosting on top. Repeat with the second layer. 🎂
  • Add the third layer and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
  • Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a stunning effect.

Notes

  • Chill the Cake: Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes after frosting to set the layers before serving. ❄️
  • Decoration Idea: Top with chopped hazelnuts or chocolate shavings for an elegant touch! 🌰🍫
  • Flavor Boost: Add a splash of espresso to the batter for an extra depth of flavor. ☕️
