One of the easiest cake to make, this Nutella chocolate cake is so rich and delicious you won’t want to share. Make it to your next party or pot-luck and everyone will beg for the recipe.
A couple of weeks ago a friend emailed me a picture holding two 11lbs buckets of Nutella. A little crazy, my mind instantly start thinking of insanely crazy Nutella desserts. Desserts like these cupcakes, cookies or like this mind-blowing fudgy Nutella chocolate cake.
The moment I have read the recipe for this cake over at TidyMom I was hooked. A thin layer of chocolate cake topped with a rich, fudgy layer of cream cheese and Nutella. Think Nutella Cheesecake. I got your attention, haven’t I?
The original name of this cake it’s a chocolate butter cake and I’ve learned it’s a Southern cake, but for me the name does not count much. Butter cake or simple chocolate cake this cake will be made in my kitchen over and over again.
It’s so, so easy to make. Literarily, it will take you 5 minutes to put it together. Mix the ingredients for the chocolate cake and press it evenly on the bottom of the pan. Mix the Nutella cheesecake filling and pour over the crust. How hard is that? And let me tell you something else. Not only this cake is easy to make but it calls only for 8 ingredients (that if we count the vanilla extract as well)
