Ingredients:​

For the Meringue Layers:​

• 6 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Hazelnut Cream Filling:​

• 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and finely ground
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:​

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Additional:​

• Additional toasted hazelnuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Meringue Layers:​

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
4. Gently fold in the white vinegar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until just combined.
5. Divide the meringue mixture evenly between the prepared baking sheets, spreading it into three equal-sized circles.
6. Bake the meringue layers in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they are firm and dry to the touch. Let them cool completely on the baking sheets.

2. Prepare the Hazelnut Cream Filling:​

1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2. Gently fold in the finely ground toasted hazelnuts until evenly distributed.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:​

1. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
4. Stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth and well combined. Let it cool slightly.

4. Assemble the Cake:​

1. Place one of the cooled meringue layers on a serving plate or cake stand.
2. Spread half of the hazelnut cream filling evenly over the meringue layer.
3. Drizzle some of the chocolate ganache over the hazelnut cream filling.
4. Repeat the layers with the second meringue layer, remaining hazelnut cream filling, and more chocolate ganache.
5. Place the third meringue layer on top and drizzle the remaining chocolate ganache over the top.
6. Optionally, garnish the top of the cake with additional toasted hazelnuts.

5. Chill and Serve:​

1. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set.
2. Once chilled, slice the Hazelnut and Chocolate Meringue Cake into portions and serve chilled.
