NUTELLA CHOCOLATE CAKE

This Nutella Chocolate Cake is a scrumptious mixture of an exceedingly wet chocolate cake and a sweet, scrumptious Nutella icing, all covered in chocolate ganache. Delish!

I definitely love Nutella. i like peanut butter, however Nutella? It’s nutty and chocolatey. excellent of each worlds. pass me a spoon! I couldn’t wait to stuff this chocolate cake with it. The Nutella icing is buttery, sweet heaven.

The chocolate cake layers are my favorite chocolate slow-bake cake. It bakes at three hundred stages, in place of 350 – that’s now not a typo. And it’s the moistest chocolate cake you’ll ever have.

I simplest have three 8 inch pans though, so I baked  cakes at a time.
