Ingredients
- Nutella Chocolate Cake:
220g all purpose flour
210g caster sugar
40g cocoa powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
150g buttermilk/yogurt (whisk it well before use)
150g cold coffee
130 ml oil (vegetable or sunflower)
2-3 tbsp Nutella
- Nutella Buttercream:
3tbsp Nutella
140g softened unsalted butter
250g icing sugar
1-2 tbsp double cream
- Nutella Ganache:
90g 50% dark chocolate
50g unsalted butter
50g double cream
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, buttermilk, Nutella & cold coffee until combined. Sieve in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder and salt. Using a spatula mix it well. Grease and line 2 6” cake tin. Pour the batter and bake it at 170 C for 20-25mins
- Now, using a stand or hand mixer whip the butter for 5mins until pale, light & fluffy. Add icing sugar and whisk for 2mins. Add the Nutella and double cream and whisk till it’s smooth.
- Heat the cream on medium to low heat. Add the heated cream onto butter and chocolate and Nutella and whisk well. Set it aside for it to cool and firm a bit.
- Assemble the cake by layering it with cooled ganache and cover it light sort of a crumb coat. I have gone for a semi-naked cake look. Top it with buttercream swirls.
