Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
• Fold in the chopped hazelnuts.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Frosting
• In a mixing bowl, beat together the hazelnut spread and softened butter until well combined.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
• Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
• Optional: Garnish with additional chopped hazelnuts.

Tips

• Make sure to properly measure the flour and cocoa powder for accurate results.
• Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
