Chocolate Hazelnut Cake

Gabe and I had to make this cake for some friends after losing a bet. Sadly, one of them turned out to be allergic to hazelnuts :( but the cake was really good and probably the prettiest thing i have ever made, so i took a bunch of pictures of it.

It's comprised of Ina Garten's chocolate cake (the best ever according to many), a thick hazelnut-chcolate mousse (which was more like a buttercream, possibly because I used too much hazelnut flour), chocolate-nutella sauce dripped over the top, and goldschlagger-spiked almond whipped cream slathered on the sides, with crushed hazelnuts pressed into it.
