Here are the Ingredients!
- 256g 00 flour (lamb brand)
- 50g cocoa powder
- 1.5 tspn baking powder (lamb brand)
- 1/2 tspn salt
- 125ml vegetable/coconut oil
- 275g granulated sugar (lamb brand)

For the hazelnut frosting:
- 2 cups icing sugar (lamb brand)
- 1/2 cup of butter (room temp)
- 3/4 cup hazelnut cocoa spread
- 40ml whipping cream
- 1 tspn vanilla essence
Method:
- Add all the wet ingredients to a bowl and using a whisk attachment on your mixer, mix until well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder and cocoa powder and slowly start adding to the mixing bowl containing the wet ingredients. Mix using the cake attachment.
- Dissolve the coffee granules in the boiling water and add slowly to the mixture.
- Line two 7 inch pans with baking paper and scoop the resulting mixture inside.
- Bake for around 45 minutes at 180 degrees in your preheated oven,
- Whilst the cakes are cooling, start working on the frosting.
- Combine all the frosting ingredients and whisk using a mixer or an electrical whisk until the mixture appears creamy and delicious!
- Next, top the cake layers with this delightful frosting, top with your favourite candies and let the cake chill for about 4 hours.
- Slice and enjoy!!!
