Hazelnut Torte

This is so simple because you can use a cake mix.
NEED:
1 package yellow cake mix
1 cup, finely chopped hazelnuts or filberts
1 1/2 cups chilled whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 package (15.4 ounces) chocolate fudge frosting mix or canned frosting.

Bake cake as directed on box, fold hazelnuts into the batter. Bake in 2 round layer pans 8 or 9 inch pans. Cool completely and cut each layer in half to make 4 layers.
In chilled bowl, beat cream and sugar until stiff. Spread even amounts between layers. Prepare frosting mix. Frost sides and top of cake. Decorate with additional nuts, if desired. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Because of the whipped cream filling refrigerate leftover cake.

Enjoy!
