A delicious way to use up leftover cake (or a cake that hasn't gone quite to plan, as was the case with me) and turn it into something a little more decadent.

Blitz cake until fine crumbs are formed.
Add cocoa, Nutella, chopped and ground hazelnuts and mix well.
Mixture should be the same consistency as if you were making meat balls.
Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, take mixture and roll between hands until a ball shape is formed.
Set on a tray lined with baking paper and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate by breaking up into pieces and put in the microwave for 30 second increments until melted.
Using a fork, take chocolate and 'drizzle' onto truffles.
Return to the refrigerator until chocolate has set.
Suitable to freeze.
Recipe Notes
Any kind of cake can be used. I used a banana cake for this recipe. Any ingredients can be used, eg dried fruit, chopped candy bars, nuts and a binding ingredient like nut pastes or melted chocolate.
