Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round pans and line bottoms with parchment.
Step 2
Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Cool, then chop finely.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and 1 cup of the chopped hazelnuts.
Step 4
Cream butter and sugar until light. Beat in eggs one at a time, then milk.
Step 5
Fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Divide batter between pans.
Step 6
Bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Step 7
For frosting, beat remaining butter (about 1/2 cup) with powdered sugar and milk until fluffy. (Add extra sugar if needed.)
Step 8
Spread frosting between layers and over top. Sprinkle with remaining hazelnuts.
