Servings
Now that you have your delicious Nutella Layer Cake ready, let's talk about serving suggestions to make this dessert the star of your table. 🎉
Slice the cake into generous portions and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream on the side for an extra touch of indulgence. 🍰✨ Another delightful idea is to serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; the cold creaminess perfectly complements the rich, chocolaty layers.
If you’re planning a fancy gathering, why not add some edible gold leaf to the top of your cake? This touch of luxury will undoubtedly impress your guests. 💛🍴
Finally, keep a pot of freshly brewed coffee or tea ready to serve alongside your cake. The warm, comforting flavors of coffee or tea make for a wonderful pairing with the decadent Nutella layers. ☕🍂

Variations
Looking to make a gluten-free or vegan version of this delightful cake? We've got you covered! 🌱💖
Gluten-Free: Simply swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free baking flour blend. Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are certified gluten-free as well. The rest of the recipe remains the same, and you’ll have a cake that everyone can enjoy. 🍰✨
Vegan: Replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water for each egg required). Use almond or soy milk instead of whole milk, and opt for dairy-free heavy cream and mascarpone substitutes. Choose a vegan-friendly Nutella alternative, and you’re all set for a plant-based version of this heavenly dessert. 🌿💚
Faq
-
Can I use a different size of baking pans?
Yes, but you may need to adjust the baking time. Keep an eye on the cakes and test for doneness with a toothpick.
-
Do I need an electric mixer for this cake?
No, while an electric mixer makes it easier, you can mix by hand. Just ensure the batter is well combined and smooth.
-
How do I prevent my cake from sticking to the pan?
Grease and flour your pans thoroughly before adding the batter. For extra insurance, you can also line the bottom with parchment paper.
-
Can I make the components ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the cake layers and prepare the creams a day in advance. Just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble.
-
How long does this cake stay fresh?
If kept in an airtight container in the fridge, your Nutella Layer Cake will stay fresh for up to 4 days.
-
What if my Nutella mousse is too runny?
Make sure your heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks before folding in the Nutella. You can also refrigerate the mixture for a bit to help it firm up.
