Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and line with parchment paper, a 23 x 5 cm loose bottomed baking pan. Set aside.
  2. In a stainless steel or heatproof bowl place the chopped chocolate and cocoa powder. Pour the boiling water over the chocolate and cocoa powder and stir until they have melted. Set aside to cool while you make the batter.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk to combine, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In the bowl of your electric mixer, cream the butter. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy (this will take about 3-5 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and melted chocolate mixture and beat to combine.
  5. Add the milk and flour mixtures in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat only until the ingredients are incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 35 - 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes.
  7. When completely cooled, split the cake into 3 layers; place one layer in the same baking pan after you have washed it.
  8. Chocolate filling:
  9. Put the cream in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Remove the pan from the heat immediately before the cream starts boiling. Add the diced chocolate, and stir until dissolved.
  10. In a small bowl, using a spatula or a fork beat the butter until soft. Stir the butter into the cream and let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours. Spread 1/3 of the filling over the cake half and sprinkle some caramelized hazelnuts over . Place a second layer on top and repeat layering using same amount of the filling and hazelnuts. Finish with the last layer and spread the rest of the filling overt the top and sides of the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator.
  11. Make the glaze:
  12. Get the cream to a simmer over a medium heat in a heavy saucepan, add the diced chocolate and stir till smoothed. Leave to cool for 5 minutes and then add the honey.The honey gives a shiny look to the glaze but you can omit it if you don’t want that much of sweet taste. Whisk till smoothed and mixture begins to thicken. Pour
  13. The mixture immediately over the cake and tilt the rack or use a spatula to cover all the surface and sides. Refrigerate at least for 2 hours.
  14. ENJOY!!
