Ingredients
  

  • 2 Sticks Butter
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 11/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Hazelnut Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Buttermilk*
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Butter For prepping the baking pan*

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325F. Also, prep a 9inch baking pan with butter. Also, I like to coat my baking pan with flour after using butter. Then place the pan in the fridge to cool.
  • In a bowl or mixer bowl, combine the all purpose flour, hazelnut flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt.
  • Add butter into the dry ingredients and slowly begin to cream. You want to mix until a consistent crumb-like texture forms.
  • Add in the eggs with the vanilla and buttermilk. Slowly drizzle into the mixing bowl while mixing. Be careful not to the over-mix batter. Mix until the batter just barely comes together.
  • Take the prepared baking pan out of the fridge/freezer. Pour in the chocolate hazelnut cake batter. Place in oven
  • Bake at 325F for about 55 to 60 minute until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool down for about 15-20 minutes before removing from baking pan. Let it cool down another 45 minutes before cutting. If decorating, allow it to further cool down completely before frosting**.

Notes
