Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Cake

Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Cake

My son who turned 19 this month is a chocoholic and loves ferrero rocher chocolate too. This birthday I surprised him by making a ferrero rocher cake. Two of his favourite things in one cake!:D

The best thing about this ferrero rocher cake is that you don't need to be a professional baker to make it. The icing is fairly simple, you just ice the cake and decorated it with ferrero rocher chocolate. The sides of the cake can be decorated with crushed  almonds, ferrero rocher or hazel nuts whatever you have at hand.

The cake itself not only tastes uberlicious but also looks quite impressive too. The ferrero chocolate has done all the work but the credit goes to you. I would call this sweetly evil! The frosting is also really interesting you just mix some nutella along with butter cream icing spread it on the cake and that's basically your ferrero rocher cake proudy displayed on your tea trolley.

This cake not only adds spark to a birthday party but works great for any occasion. Try it on a high tea party and your guests will surley be impressed.
