Why You’ll Love This Nutella Chocolate Cake Recipe
ALL the Nutella & chocolate flavor. This cake is super rich with both chocolate and Nutella. There’s over a cup of Nutella in the recipe, between the buttercream and the ganache, and the cakes themselves are a delightfully rich chocolate.
Ultra moist. I used a few tricks in this recipe to make super moist cakes – they’re baked at 300F (yes, 300, not 350!), made with oil and milk, and use hot water for even more moisture. The end result is one of the moistest chocolate cakes ever.
Beautiful presentation. With 3 layers of cake, smooth Nutella buttercream on the outside, chocolate ganache drizzled over the top, and alternating swirls of buttercream and Ferrero Rocher candies, this Nutella chocolate cake is a true stunner. (But requires no special decorating skills!)
