INGREDIENTS
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup hazelnut flour*
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup processed cocoa powder sifted
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- melted chocolate (for cake pops)
- chocolate sprinkles/ chocolate chips etc for decor
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 F, grease round baking pans and dust with cocoa powder. Line bottoms with parchment.
- Place all dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl whisk all wet ingredients (pour hot water in slowly while whisking as not to cook the eggs).
- Add wet ingredients to dry and mix on medium for 2-3 mins. Batter will be very thin.
- Pour evenly into prepared pans. I used a kitchen scale to ensure the batter is evenly distributed.
- Bake until a cake tester comes out mostly clean, a total of 30-35 mins.
- Cut out the middle part of the cake and make some cake pops using it.
- Coat the cake pops with chocolate. Decorate according to your preference.
- Place those cake-pops in the center of the cake. And decorate the cake with your favorite chocolates/ sprinkles/chocolate chips.
