If you are looking for a stuffed cake for your birthday or that of someone you particularly care about, the Ferrero Rocher cake is for you. Its preparation, contrary to what one might think when seeing it, is quite simple. It consists of one;base of cocoa sponge cake, a filling of Nutella, cream and wafer (the same for the topping) and finished with chopped hazelnuts and Ferrero Rocher. I suggest you to start preparation on time of the cake: two days before, prepare the sponge cake so that it will be able to cool down well. The day before, prepare the creams and fill them. Transfer it to the refrigerator where the flavors will have time to blend. It is not a properly cheap dessert, given the presence of hazelnuts, chocolates and Nutella, but it will certainly be of great effect.
