Cooking steps

1. Beat the eggs with sugar until the volume increases by 2-3 times.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 5 piece
   • Sugar: 7 tablespoons

2. Chop the nuts with a blender. Also chop the waffles, but separately from the nuts.

   Required ingredients:

   • Hazelnut: 250 g
   • Chocolate wafers: 150 g

3. In a separate container, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and ground nuts.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 2 tablespoons
   • Cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons
   • Hazelnut: 250 g

4. We will add the obtained dry mixture to the beaten eggs and mix until homogeneous.

5. Grease the baking pan with oil, pour in the prepared batter, and bake for 40-50 minutes at 175 degrees. Let it cool slightly in the pan, then remove and place on a rack.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 200 g

6. While the cake cools, we prepare the cream. We melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a water bath, whichever is more convenient. Then we let it cool to room temperature. We whip together the cooled chocolate, softened butter, and Nutella. We cut the cooled cake in half and spread part of the cream on the bottom.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chocolate: 200 g
   • Butter: 200 g
   • Nutella®: 7 tablespoons

7. Generously sprinkle the cream with crushed wafers.

   • Chocolate wafers: 150 g

8. Spread cream on the bottom side of the top layer and place it on the wafer layer.

9. We spread the remaining cream on the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle the sides with wafer crumbs or crushed nuts. Place in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to let the cream set a bit. Then, smooth the surface with a dry hot knife. Cut Ferrero Rocher candies in half and decorate the cake with them. Chill well.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chocolate wafers: 150 g
   • Hazelnut: 250 g
   • Candies:  to taste

10. Before serving, we take the cake out in advance so that the cream softens a bit.
