Baking Time:
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) with both upper and lower heat for approximately 35 minutes.

Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and 1 cup of sugar until well combined. Add a few drops of vanilla extract for flavor.

1. Add Cream and Milk:
   Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of milk. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Incorporate Hazelnuts:
   Fold in 1/3 cup of chopped hazelnuts and 1/2 cup of ground hazelnuts into the batter, providing a delightful nutty texture.
3. Add Baking Powder and Flour:
   Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of baking powder and gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4. Prepare the Pan:
   Grease and flour your cake pan to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
5. Pour the Batter:
   Pour the prepared batter into the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake to Perfection:
   Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Decorate:
   Allow the cake to cool before spreading a light hazelnut cream on top and decorating with Giotto chocolates.
