Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Eggs

    In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-egg mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Nutella Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Filling

    In a separate bowl, mix the Nutella and chopped hazelnuts until well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Layer Base and Filling

    Spread half of the chocolate batter into the prepared baking pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the Nutella filling over the batter and then spread the remaining batter on top.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 8

    Cool

    Allow the Nocella to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Preparation

  1. 9

    Serve with Topping

    Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream on the side.
