Instructions

1. 1
   Gather Ingredients

   Gather the sponge, hazelnut cream, chocolate, wafers, milk, and butter, then set out a 20 cm square pan, bowls, whisk, spatula, and knife. · 5 min

   What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

2. 2
   Soak Sponge

   Place the sponge snugly in the pan and brush it evenly with milk so the crumb softens without becoming wet or compressed. · 3 min

   What to look for: The sponge looks evenly moistened but still holds its shape.

3. 3
   Whip Hazelnut Cream

   Beat the softened butter until pale, then add hazelnut cream in 3 additions and whisk until the filling is glossy and smooth. · 5 min

   What to look for: The cream is lighter in color and holds soft swirls.

4. 4
   Spread Filling

   Spread the hazelnut filling over the sponge in an even layer, pushing it gently to the corners with a spatula. · 3 min

   What to look for: The filling is level and reaches every corner.

5. 5
   Add Wafer

   Crush the wafers with your hands and scatter them over the cream, pressing lightly so they settle into the surface. · 2 min

   What to look for: The cream is covered with an even crisp wafer layer.

6. 6
   Melt Chocolate

   Melt the milk chocolate with the remaining butter over low heat, stirring until fluid, shiny, and fully combined. · 5 min

7. 7
   Glaze Top

   Pour the warm chocolate over the wafer layer and smooth it quickly before it thickens, keeping the top level. · 2 min

   What to look for: The top is glossy and evenly covered.

8. 8
   Chill Cake

   Chill the cake until the cream firms and the chocolate sets cleanly, about 2 hours in the refrigerator. · 2 h
