How to Make the Nutella Layer Cake
In a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. Start mixing until a well-combined dough is formed.
Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Then, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 0.16 inches.
Place the dough in a greased and floured 7-8 inch springform pan. Then prick with a fork.
Cover with parchment paper and weights, then blind bake at 356°F for about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the yogurt with Nutella.
Also fold in the whipped cream, mixing from bottom to top without deflating the mixture. Place the cream in a piping bag with a star tip.
At this point, fill the base of the pastry with 1 tablespoon of Nutella and ladyfingers dipped in coffee.
Decorate the top with the prepared Nutella mousse.
Decorate with Nutella and chopped hazelnuts.
Store your cake in the refrigerator until serving.
