Cake and Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sponge Cake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Make the Hazelnut Buttercream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until smooth and fluffy. Add hazelnut spread and mix until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Torte

    Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the top of the first layer.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the torte for at least 30 minutes to set the buttercream before slicing and serving.
