Easy Toblerone Cake
- 1 box Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
- 1 1/4 cups Water
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 Eggs beaten
- 100 g Toblerone Chocolate finely chopped
Chocolate Hazelnut Icing
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
- 4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 3/4 cup Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Whipping Cream
Assembly
- 100 g Toblerone Bars finely chopped for the centre
- 100 g Small Toblerone Bar finely chopped to be garnished on top
- 3 cups Buttercream Icing divided
Heat oven to 350F. Grease the bottom and sides of two 8" round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl mix Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix with water, oil, eggs and chopped Toblerone bar. Use a whisk to combine until a smooth batter forms. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before remove the cakes from their pans and cool on a rack completely before frosting.
Chocolate Icing
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and powdered sugar on low until well-blended. Add the Nutella, vanilla extract and cream then increase the speed to medium. Beat for two minutes until a smooth icing forms.
Assembly
Place one of the chocolate cake rounds in the centre of a cake stand.
Using a palette knife add a thin layer of buttercream icing. Evenly sprinkle 100g of chopped Toblerone. Gently place the other chocolate cake round on top, creating a 2-layer cake.
Using a palette knife add half of the remaining buttercream icing to the sides and top of the cake in a very thin layer called a "crumb layer." Smooth over the surfaces so they are even. Place the cake in your fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
Using a palette knife add the chocolate icing to the sides and top of the cake. Smooth over the surfaces so they are even.
Fill the remaining buttercream icing into a piping bag. Decorate the edges of the cake with the buttercream using your favourite decorative tip. Make sure to leave a space between each buttercream dollop to place a piece of the small Toblerone chocolate bar. The edges of the cake should alternative with buttercream and Toblerone pieces.
Take the remaining chopped Toblerone bars and sprinkle them into the centre of the cake.
Slice and serve.
