Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground hazelnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts (for topping)
  • Powdered sugar or extra Nutella for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract and Nutella.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the combined buttermilk and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Top with chopped toasted hazelnuts and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional Nutella, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground hazelnuts with almond meal if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For extra richness, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
