Ingredients

Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk

Frosting:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup Nutella
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

1/2 cup Nutella, melted
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

Cake:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the Nutella and mix until combined. Add the salt and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cakes and set aside.

Topping:

Melt the Nutella in a small saucepan over low heat. Drizzle the melted Nutella over the frosted cakes and sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts. Allow the Nutella to cool and set before serving.
