Happy Tuesday guys! Today’s recipe is Ferrero Rocher cake – an absolute heaven of chocolate and hazelnuts! 🤤
This cake was requested by my daughters for my birthday. They really made sure their mummy had a cake with candles for her birthday. The Ferrero Rocher candies are one of our favs so the kids instructed me on making such cake.
The layers are made with hazelnuts and chocolate (barely any flour there). Then they’re generously smothered with Nutella frosting. 👌 I wouldn’t say the cake is quick and easy, definitely not. It does take time but it’s not that complex at all. After all, I’m not a baker myself but really enjoyed making it and it turned pretty delicious, I think. 😊

- hazelnuts
- chocolate
