Instructions

Get Mixing
1

a) Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.

b) Line 2 8''/20cm round cake tins with baking paper.

c) In a large bowl, combine the cake mix with the eggs, water and vegetable oil (see pantry for all three amounts).

d) Gently stir until fully combined, 2-3 mins.

 

Into the Oven
2

a) Divide the cake mixture between your lined cake tins and pop onto the middle shelf of your oven until risen and golden, 22-27 mins or until a rounded knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. TIP: A few crumbs are okay!

b) Once baked, allow the cakes to cool for 10 mins before removing from the tins, then allow to cool completely.

Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
3

a) While the cakes bake, combine in a small saucepan the chocolate chips, cream cheese and one quarter of the salted caramel sauce.

b) Stir on medium heat until the chocolate is completely melted, 3-4 mins.

c) Transfer the chocolate cream cheese mixture into a small bowl, then cover and refrigerate until the cakes are cool.

Caramelise the Nuts
4

a) While the frosting cools, combine in a small saucepan the hazelnuts and one third of the remaining salted caramel sauce. 

b) Pop on medium heat until the salted caramel sauce becomes stringy and the hazelnuts clump together, 5-6 mins.

Chill Out
5

a) Place the caramelised nuts onto a plate lined with baking paper in a single layer and place in the fridge to set, 10-15 mins. TIP: Try to separate the hazelnuts before you place them in the fridge to make them easier to separate before decorating.

Decorate and Serve
6

a) Once the cakes are completely cooled, divide the chocolate cream cheese frosting evenly between the cakes and gently spread to cover the top of each one.

b) Stack one cake on top of another on your serving platter.

c) Drizzle over the remaining slated caramel sauce.

d) Carefully separate the hazelnuts, then arrange them in a circle around the edge of the top cake to finish.

Enjoy!
