Chocolate Hazelnut Cube Cake

I wanted this cake to feel like a chocolate truffle sharpened into something architectural. The cube gives it discipline, the roasted hazelnuts give it texture, and the praline brings that grown-up Nutella memory without the sweetness taking over. It slices beautifully too, which is deeply satisfying if, like me, you enjoy a clean edge almost as much as a good forkful.
