Chocolate Nutella Cake

This cake is for chocolate lovers out there. Don't be fooled though, it's not just any chocolate cake. It's a NUTELLA chocolate cake! (Mind blown, right????) As well as being absolutely scrumptious, it's a great way to use up nutella and is much quicker then making icing. Let's face it - it can sometimes be a bore to go through the motions of making the perfect icing when all you want to do is enjoy a slice.

100g butter1 200g caster sugar 100g Nutella 200g self raising flour 4 medium eggs2 ½ teaspoon baking powder

Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 and line 2x 21cm/9inch cake tins with greaseproof paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk all the ingredients together. Once combined, pour into the cake tins making sure you’ve got an even amount in each.

3. Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until springy to touch.

4. Take out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. Decide which is going to be your base and spread with a thick layer of Nutella.

5. Pop the top cake onto the base and press down firmly sandwiching them together. Cover the top of the cake with more Nutella and finely chopped hazel nuts.

Enjoy!!!
