Preparing Cake Batter

Start by mixing the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs together to create a dense and moist cake batter. Make sure to mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Baking the Cake

Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan and bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before removing it from the pan.

Preparing the Filling

For the filling, you can choose between a fruit jam or a creamy chocolate layer. Spread this filling evenly between the cooled cake layers.

Making the Chocolate Ganache/Frosting

Combine heavy cream and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and thick. Let it cool slightly before spreading over the top layer of the cake.

Adding the Garnish

Top the frosted cake with caramelized or candied hazelnuts or almonds for a beautiful finish and extra crunch.
