Method
-
1
: Preheat oven 180ยฐc
: Grease two 20cm sandwich baking tins.
: Beat butter and sugar until pale.
: Add two eggs then beat again.
: Add the other two until mixture is smooth.
: Sieve in the flour and baking powder.
: Sieve in the cocoa powder.
: Whisk until combined.
: Add the chopped hazelnuts and stir.
: Divide mixture between two cases and smooth down.
: Bake for 25 minutes, until well risen.
: Turn out on rack and leave to completely cool.
: Make the buttercream by combining all the ingredients in a mixer.
: Spread on the base of one of the sponges.
: Put the other on top and press down slightly.
: Melt the chocolate for the covering in a bowl over boiling water.
: Spread over the top of the cake and if you want, let it drizzle down, as you are aware I love this look but can be aware it looks too messy for some. So if you prefer keep the chocolate at the top.
: Then top with chopped Ferraro Rochers, and in no particular order place on the cake. Let the chocolate set: then from a small distance spray the gold.
