Cakes are made with love! There are ample good reasons to enjoy a nice cake, and you can be in no doubt that the soft creamy of a well-made cake can bring a good moment of happiness and cheerfulness to your life. The cake is not just a dessert for a party. It carries the emotions of the particular event.

Be it a birthday or anniversary or any special happenings, it is always at the top of the list. So you need to be careful about the theme of the occasion before preparing a cake. The first thing you need to look after is the texture and taste that the cake will have and its ingredients. This is really crucial because a nice-looking cake is meaningless unless it tastes really yummy.

Who doesn’t like Ferrero Rocher? And a cake with coatings of rich chocolate sponge smothered liberally with Nutella filled Buttercream & the crunchy bites of hazelnuts on the top. This is definitely going to be a hit with anybody who knows their chocolate right. The cake is topped off with either Strawberry ice cream or whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates placed on top. The cake has the right balance of crispiness from the Ferrero Rocher shell, the smoothness of the delicate and delicious sponge cake.

You can choose this Ferrero Rocher cake for its incredible look or to enjoy it as a whole. If you want to up your cake game with unique taste and flavor, you may try this cake and don’t look back again. This cake looks so yummy and certain to make lasting impression on your guests/family and friends. The taste and look of both will fascinate you and others for sure!!

I made a mini version of the cake as its already very luxurious. But you can easily double (6 inch) or triple(8 inch) it for full cake.

Few Tips to make Ferraro Rocher Cake:

Make sure you whisk the eggs and sugar really really well until its double in size. This step is very important.
Once the egg mixture is double, fold in the dry ingredients. Use Spatula to fold the ingredients instead of using the mixer. Careful not to overmix.
Make sure you use roasted and crushed hazelnuts for that authentic Ferraro Rocher taste. I used hazelnut powder as I was planning to pipe the buttercream on top of the cake instead of just coat it. You can pick either way.
I used Nutella in this recipe but 1 tbsp cocoa powder works too. But, I have not tested this ingredient in my recipe.
Add few bits of crushed wafers on top of the cake, if you like the wafers crunch. I skipped this step.
Always let the cake cool completely before topping it off or decorating with buttercream.

Bake this unique and delicious cake for any special event and serve. It is one of the most delicious and rich cakes you can prepare for upcoming holidays or any special occasion. It may take some more time to prepare but the efforts are definitely worth it and your guests or family will be asking for seconds and the recipe of course.
