To make the moretto cake, beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a creamy mixture, then add the sunflower oil and the unsweetened cocoa.
Next, gradually add the milk, the sifted flour with the baking powder, and mix well to combine the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into a greased and floured round pan (⌀9 1/2 inches). Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 30-40 minutes (do the toothpick test). Remove from the oven and let cool.
Cut the cake in half and fill with a layer of hazelnut spread and a layer of firmly whipped cream.
Store in the fridge and serve the moretto cake with a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
