1 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup hot water
For the hazelnut frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup Nutella
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
For the ganache:
1 cup dark chocolate chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
For decoration:

Instructions:
1 Prepare the cake layers:
Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
Mix in the buttermilk and hot water alternately with the dry ingredients.
2 Bake the cakes:
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
3 Make the hazelnut frosting:
Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add Nutella, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
4 Prepare the ganache:
Heat the heavy cream until simmering, then pour over the chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
5 Assemble the cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of hazelnut frosting, and repeat with the remaining layers. Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
Drizzle the ganache over the top and sides of the cake for a drip effect.
6 Decorate:
Top with Ferrero Rocher chocolates and chocolate chips or curls for an elegant finish.
7 Serve and enjoy:
Slice and savor this decadent chocolate hazelnut masterpiece!
