I made this for my husband's birthday . chocolate cake ,filled first with chocolate ganache and then hazelnut filling. I made 2 9" cakes. torte them to make a 4 layers cake, doubled the hazelnut filling recipe.the cake was gone in 5 minutes, absolutely delicious INGREDIENTS 4  large egg whites 1 cup granulated sugar 3 sticks unsalted butter, softened 1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur DIRECTIONS over a double boiler, add the egg whites and sugar mix until sugar is dissolved about 3 minutes( touch it, until  you don't feel any grains). let it  cool. put in your mixer and beat on high until you see peaks form about 5 minutes. add butter and hazelnut liqueur continue beating on high for another 5 minutes.

What brand of hazelnut liqueur did you use?

Do you put the hazelnut filling on top of the ganche?

yes ,it needs to be refrigerated, if not using the same day. I made mine the day before, and re whipped it on medium high for about 5 minutes before using it. turned out great.

I made this and it was okay.. but not my favorite. I felt like I was eating a stick of butter.
