Ingredients: 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup packed brown sugar. 2 large eggs. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 tablespoon red food coloring. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1 cup Nutella or hazelnut spread. Powdered sugar, for dusting.

Instructions: Melt the butter and mix it with the white sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one.
