Ingredients

For the cake:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the mousse filling:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup hazelnut spread
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons hazelnut spread
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, eggs, and sugar. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

To make the mousse filling, whip the heavy cream and sugar together until soft peaks form. Add the hazelnut spread and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Spread the mousse over the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

To make the glaze, melt the chocolate chips, hazelnut spread, and heavy cream together in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly. Spread the glaze over the chilled cake and refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version of this cake, use a vegan butter and coconut cream in place of the heavy cream. For a nut-free version, omit the hazelnut spread and use your favorite nut-free spread or chocolate chips instead.
