Ferrero Rocher Birthday Cake

     

  At the beginning of this week, it was my birthday. If you follow my blog, you know that I tried a recipe for Ferrero Rocher cake.   If you`re not following me, you can click here and see what I`ve done. The first try wasn`t as amazing as I expected, but I managed to improve a little the recipe, so here is the final one. The delicious Ferrero Rocher Birthday cake:







 The ingredients for the basic cake with cocoa are:

• 5 eggs
• 250 gr flour
• 250 gr sugar
• 100 ml water
• 100 ml oil
• 3 spoons of cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Separate the eggs, then mingle the egg yolks with 50 ml water. Add the sugar, and mix it until you can`t feel the sugar. Warm up 50 ml water, and add to it the cocoa powder. Mix it well with the egg yolks and the sugar.  Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. In the egg yolks mixture, add slowly the oil, flour and the baking powder. And finally, add the egg whites foam. The composition is now ready, bake it for about 30 minutes, at 180 degrees.

Last time, my basic cake did not succeed as I hoped so. You can check out why here. But this time, I used some butter and flour on the tin, and my basic cake looks amazing.

For the cream you need:

• 250 gr hazelnuts
• 500 mascarpone cheese
• 5 spoons Nutella
• 300 ml sour cream.

For the decoration, I just used the following cream:

• 200 gr nutella
• 200 gr mascarpone cheese

Just mix the mascarpone with the Nutella, and it`s done. And of course, I used some Ferrero Rocher candies.

A little side story about the recipe. When I baked the hazelnuts, I decided to leave them in the turned off oven until I need them because I didn`t have enough space in the kitchen. And when the time came to use them, I did not know where my hazelnuts were. I accused my father of taking them just to annoy me and then my brother. For about 20 minutes the whole family was searching my hazelnuts. Until my mother remembered where I put them. :) I think I was a little tired :)

But my Ferrero Rocher birthday cake was a hit. Everybody loved it.
