Gingerbread & Chocolate Cake with Hazelnut

Christmas is here, and what is more Christmassy than gingerbread and chocolate!

I love this pairing of the spicy gingerbread with the rich chocolate, here perfectly balanced with roasted hazelnut and a hint of freshness from orange.

All my favorite Christmas flavors in one cake!
I had a lot of fun creating all the chocolate decoration for this cake design, but if you want to make a simpler version, you can also just make the glazed Christmas balls with the additional chocolate decoration.

Happy baking <3
