WOW Chocolate Firework Cake
Recipe for cake found in WOW
1 pint whipping cream
1 to 2 tablespoons white sugar
Dash of vanilla
½ cup Nutella, or another hazelnut spread, softened
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Pinch of ground cinnamon

1½ cups flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla

½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons water
½ cup hazelnuts, toasted
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round baking pans. Bake 20 minutes

Whip cream by whipping the cream for a minute before adding other ingredients.

Carmalize sugar by mixing sugar with water and simmering.  Stir in nuts and salt, stirring to make sure nuts are covered.  Pour onto parchment covered baking sheet and let harden.

Once cake is cooled, frost cake with whipped cream, using about 1/3 of the mixture each for layer.  Use remaining third to pipe whipped cream along the bottom / top of cake.  Sprinkle with candied nuts.




Interesting Idea for Banana Pudding
Instead of using wafers, make a vanilla cake.  Bake in 13 x 9 pan, then top with pudding, bananas, and meringue / whipped cream.
