Cake
- 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix {15.25 ounces}
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup brewed coffee
- ⅓ cup butter {melted}
- 3 large eggs
Icing
- ½ cup butter
- ⅔ cup Nutella spread {chocolate hazelnut spread}
- 6 Tablespoons milk
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ⅔ cup hazelnuts {chopped}
Toppings
- 4 ounces whipped topping
- 12 Ferrero Rocher candies {unwrapped}
Cake
To prepare the cake batter: Combine cake mix, milk, coffee, melted butter and eggs to medium bowl and stir with an electric mixer until well combined. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick spray and pour prepared batter into the greased pan. Spread into an even layer.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs. Cool completely in the pan.
Icing
Combine the butter, Nutella and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat, add powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
Add chopped hazelnuts to the frosting and stir until they are evenly incorporated. Pour the frosting over the cake. Use a knife or spoon to move excess frosting and be sure that it is completely covered. Allow the frosting to set up.
Toppings
Cut the cake into 12 squares. Add the whipped topping to a piping bag {or zipper bag} and pipe a swirl on top of each square and add a candy to each piece. Note: If you do not have a piping or zipper bag, just use a spoon to add a dollop of whipped cream to each square. Serve and store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Use room temperature ingredients. This simple step helps ensure that everything will blend together well and give you a smooth cake batter.
- Don't over bake this amazing cake. For so long we have been told to use a toothpick and pull the cake out once it is clean but the truth is that if you wait that long you will end up with a dry cake. The key is to pull the cake out of the oven once the toothpick has a few crumbs but no raw batter for a super moist cake.
- If your frosting is too thick add a few tablespoons of milk. If the frosting is too thin, add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
Store- The best way to store this cake is to cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The cake will last for up to 5 days when refrigerated.
Freeze- This decadent cake will freeze well for up to 3 months. Be sure it is in a good airtight container and wrapped well.
