I believe in chocolate and the best chocolate torte recipe is here – Ferrero Rocher Torte Dessert. Say YES to your best life and…
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels…
And then I woke up. Reality! Time for my new post.
This torte doesn’t need an introduction.The formula is:
Chocolate + Hazelnuts + Nutella = Fererro Rocher Torte!
Now, let’s start our baking show.
5 large eggs
6 TBSP sugar
2 cups ground Hazelnuts
2 TBSP flour
2 TBSP cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder (no aluminum)
1 cup mascarpone cheese
2 cups Nutella
1 cup whip cream
1 1/2 cup crushed Wafers
1/2 cup Hazelnuts
Line 8 inch round pan with foil.
Whisk 5 eggs and 6 TBSP sugar on high speed for about 7 minutes.
Mix until tripled in volume!
In another bowl (bowl #2) sift 2 TBSP flour, 2 TBSP cocoa and 2 tsp baking powder.
Then add 2 cups ground hazelnuts and mix all dry ingredients together.
Using spatula fold dry ingredients into the eggs, in 3 additions. (slowly)
IMPORTANT: Be very gently when mixing with a spatula.
I will repeat, be very gently because you don’t want to upset the dough.
You want the dough to have the fluffiness. Even if you are a jerk you will have to control your anger and be gentle.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes.
Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done.
Just stick a toothpick into the center of cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is done!
Once baked, leave in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Once the cake is cool, slice it into two layers.
Mix 1 cup Mascarpone and 2 cups Nutella.
In another bowl mix 1 cup of whip cream.
Now add whipped cream to Nutella Mascarpone mixture.
Mix all ingredients together for about 1 minute until colour is dark brown.
Using your food processor ground 1 cup wafers and 1/2 cup hazelnuts together.
Now, you have everything: Cake, Filling and ground hazelnut/wafers mixture.
First layer cake + 1/2 of Nutella filling and sprinkle with crushed wafers/hazelnut mix
Second layer cake and cover with Nutella filling.
Decorate outside with crushed wafers/hazelnuts mixture.
