Prepare the Cake Base
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Add Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (it will be thin).
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Nutella Frosting
Beat the Butter
In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer.
Add Nutella
Add the Nutella to the butter and mix until fully combined.
Incorporate Powdered Sugar
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined, then beat on high speed until smooth.
Add Cream and Vanilla
Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Assemble and Decorate
Layer the Cakes
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of Nutella frosting on top.
Add the Second Layer
Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting-covered layer.
Frost the Cake
Using the remaining Nutella frosting, cover the top and sides of the cake.
Add Decorations
Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles and mini marshmallows on top of the cake to create a festive look.
