Just don’t tell them how easy it is. Can’t blow your cover like that…it’ll stay our secret. Because here’s the deal..I’ve basically convinced all my friends and neighbors that I am some sort of baker-girl. What they don’t know is that everything that I make is pretty much the easiest recipe ever, topped with candy and a drizzle. The drizzle makes it fancy. That’s my secret. Shhh, don’t tell. So let’s talk about this Chocolate Hazelnut Layer Cake. And of course the drizzle.
How to Make The Best Chocolate Layer Cake
It all starts with a one bowl chocolate cake recipe. Told you it was simple…
Mix your dry ingredients together. Then add your wet ingredients.
Mix it together and pour it into cake pans. On a side note, please oh please make your own chocolate cake. It’s so much better than boxed. Not that there’s anything wrong with a boxed cake. But, just give it a try. I swear.
While your cake is baking go ahead and make your chocolate hazelnut cheesecake mousse filling. Yep, you heard that right. Start with a chocolate hazelnut spread, like Hershey’s new Spreads. SO so so yummy!
Mix that together with some softened cream cheese and powdered sugar…
Then Fold in some whipped cream…
It’ll turn this gorgeous light brown color. You’ll want your mouth to live in that bowl forever and ever. Chill the mousse until the cake is cooled completely. When you’re ready to assemble spread on some more of your chocolate hazelnut spread onto the base layer…
Then top that with some of your mousse. A nice big scoop. Then gently place your other layer on top.
Spread more of your mousse all over the top. You might have a little extramousse. Don’t tell anyone.
Top that with some chocolate hazelnut candies and drizzle more spread all over that bad boy.
You might die at how gorgeous and chocolately this is. Well, maybe not DIE-die. Just die-die. NOW, Kristan over at Confessions of a Cookbook Queen made a cake too.
