If you really love hazelnut, this is your cake! I loved this cake, but I think that the icing needs a little kick. I would add a little sugar or vanilla to the whipping cream the next time. The texture was really nice, it tasted like a bakery cake...delicious! I put chocolate covered hazelnuts on top of the cake along with chocolate shavings, and it was a big hit!

This cake was absolutely exquisite. Everything about this cake was delectable. I particularly enjoyed that this wonderfully chocolate cake was not too heavy. Like another reviewer mentioned -- I recommend letting your cream warm to room temperature before adding it to the chocolate -- or simply heat it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm. This will prevent the chocolate from seizing. One other note, when I chilled the filling for 30 minutes it was way too stiff to spread -- but maybe my refrigerator was too cold. In any case, I would skip that step next time. All in all this was a wonderful recipe and I received nothing but rave reviews!

I made this cake for my fiances birthday and it was a BIG HIT! I wish i had taken a picture to put up on the site cause it looked really good too. Besides putting plain hazelnuts to decorate it I also put some chocolate covered hazelnuts on it too to make it look prettier. Not very difficult to make and it's really delicious! I highly recommend it.

This was a wonderful cake! Wasn't too hard to make and turned out perfect the first time. Instead of using the whipping cream for the topping, I folded a teaspoon of almond extract into a tub of Cool Whip with the chopped nuts and it was delicious. One tip is to warm the whipping cream to room temperature before wisking it into the melted chocolate chips (wisking very fast and adding the cream very slowly), this helped keep it smooth. Adding the cream while it was cold made the chocolate sieze up a little and made more of a ganache than a smooth mixture. However, I still crumbled it into the whipped cream and got gooey chocolate bits inside the cream...... YUM! I almost liked it better that way than when I got it right with the second cake! ;)

This was fantastic!! Several folks thought it was bought at a fancy bakery. I think next time I won't buy the cake mix that has pudding already in the cake. It didn't rise that well. I think the amount of chocolate chips was perfect though! Thanks so much for the recipe - will definitely be making it again!

Great recipe and easy too. I replaced the hazelnuts for toffe chips and was very pleased with the results! I made the cake the day before I needed it and frosted it the day of the party - it worked out great.

This cake was a HUGE hit!! It was incredibly beautiful and tasted just as good. I added an extra 1/2 cup of hazelnuts to give it a little more flavour and it worked really well. If you are a chocolate lover, I would definitely recommend this cake.

Delicious! I made this cake for my birthday and my husband and I both really enjoyed it. I used Cool Whip instead of whipping cream. I only used real whipping cream for the 1/4 cup you mix into the melted chocolate chips. The only thing I would change next time would be to use fewer chocolate chips. It was a bit too heavy in the stomach as is. Next time, I'd reduce the chocolate chips to maybe 1 cup or 3/4 cup instead of 1.5 cups. Other than that, a beautiful and delicious cake. I'll be making it again.

Looking for a way to "jazz" up a chocolate cake mix? This was delicious. Instead of using the hazelnuts whipping cream (which sounds wonderful) I used the "Fluffy Creamy Icing" found on this site. Tasted great and there were no leftovers!
