How I make it

Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  2. Beat the sugar, vanilla sugar and butter in a stand mixer. Add the eggs gradually and keep beating.

  3. Add the flour, baking powder, hazelnuts and milk and mix until smooth.

  4. Halve the Ferrero Rocher with a knife and add them to the batter.

  5. Pour into a cake pan and bake for 40-50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Topping and decorating

  1. Melt the milk chocolate with the butter in a double boiler.

  2. Set the rack with the cake over a parchment-lined sheet and pour the topping over the whole cake, from the center outward.

  3. Decorate with Ferrero Rocher and serve.

What I've learned

  • The Ferrero Rocher crumble when I cut them, and that's fine.
  • I set the rack over a parchment-lined sheet so none of the extra chocolate goes to waste.
