- Cake
- Beat the egg whites and salt until it forms stiff peaks. Around 2 minutes or so.Beat Nutella and softened butter in a different bowl until it combines. Add the rest of the ingredients (including the egg yolks) except melted chocolate and the egg whites.
- Once everything is well mixed, stir the melted chocolate in and fold the egg whites into the mixture gently.
- Pour the batter into a 9-inch springform pan (lined with parchment paper and greased) and cook in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. When the cake is done, you will see that the cake will separate from the pan.
- Unmold, cool the cake and get the icing ready.
- Icing
- Mix the heavy cream, chocolate and your choice of liquid in a pan on the stovetop. Heat on moderate setting until the chocolate melts.
- Turn off the stove as soon as the chocolate melts, and start whisking until the mixture thickens. I added 4 Tbls powdered sugar at this point because it was too dark for me. Still did not end up all that sweet.
- Spread/pour the thickened chocolate mixture over the cake.
- Decorate with chopped toasted hazelnuts or raspberries
