Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
In a heatproof bowl, melt 400g of chocolate and the heavy cream over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Step 2
Stir in the ground hazelnuts, ground walnuts, and maple syrup (if using) into the chocolate mixture until evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Spread a generous layer of the chocolate and nut mixture evenly over one wafer layer.
Continue layering wafers and chocolate mixture until all the wafer layers are used, finishing with a wafer on top.
Place something heavy on top of the cake to compress the layers together, then refrigerate for a couple of hours to set.
Step 4
Once set, prepare the chocolate coating by melting 300g of chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top and sides of the cake, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
Step 5
Decorate the top of the cake with whole hazelnuts as desired.
Return the cake to the fridge for about an hour to allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
Once set, slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Chocolate and Nut Wafer Cake!
