For the cake:
60g (½ cup) all-purpose flour
80g (½ cup) cornstarch
40g (4 tbsp) cocoa powder
7g (1 ½ tsp) baking powder
3 eggs
160g (3/4 cup) sugar
60ml (3 tbsp) vegetable oil

For the filling:
220g (⅔ cup) hazelnut cream
160ml (½ cup + 2 tbsp) full-fat cream
60g (3 ½ tbsp) mascarpone cheese
60g (½ cup) powdered sugar

For the coating:
110g (1 cup) dark chocolate
110ml (⅓ cup+1 tbsp) full-fat cream

METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease one 20 cm cake pan and cover it with parchment.
2. Beat eggs with sugar and vegetable oil until pale.
3. In another bowl whisk flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and cocoa powder.
4. Add dry ingredients to the wet and mix to combine. Pour the batter into a prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes.
5. Let the cake cool down completely, remove it from the pan, and cut it into two equal parts.
6. For the cream, whip all of the listed ingredients together until stiff. Transfer into a piping bag.
7. Spread a thick layer of hazelnut paste on the bottom layer of the cake, pipe the cream on top, and smooth it out with a spatula. Top with another layer of the cake.
8. For the ganache coating, melt chocolate and cream in the microwave and pour the ganache on top of the cake. Spread to cover the sides, then chill the cake until the outer layer has set.
