    This Nutella cake is made with a Nutella frosting and topped with raspberries and almond slices

    Nutella cake is one of those rich and delicious cakes you should make at least five times a year. I am in love with how this cake looks and tastes. I made this cake on Feb 13th, can it be a little more obvious that I want you to make this for Valentine’s day? 

    My mom and grandmother share the same birthday on February 15th so I really made this cake for them. Yes, I had to break the tradition, I was born on June 11. 2 days later and this cake was still super moist and delicious.   

    It tastes like hazelnut and chocolate, what’s there not to like? 

    I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t take any photos of the inside of this cake. There is a reason. When I made this cake and uploaded it on Youtube many moons ago, all I had to worry about was a thumbnail photo. Blogging came later and now I won’t stop snapping photos of each entre I make. 

    I’m pretty bummed about not taking more photos but you know what? It was delicious and that’s all that matters! The cake is a moist chocolate cake, the best chocolate cake ever. If you notice, you can see my curtains and dining table because again I didn’t care about anything around the food. I just needed a close up for that Youtube thumbnail. Most of my old photos make me sad and some of my new ones still make me sad haha. But I feel like I get a little better every day. 

    Hazelnut cookie rolls around this Nutella cake gives this deliciously moist cake a little extra crunch

    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 cup boiling water
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting
