Nutella Double Chocolate Cake Recipe

Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and melted dark chocolate. Finally, add Nutella and mix until smooth.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured round cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, beating until fluffy. Mix in the cocoa powder and Nutella until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

Once the cake has cooled completely, cut it in half horizontally to create two layers. Spread a generous amount of frosting on the first layer, then place the second layer on top. Cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting, smoothing it out to create a neat finish.

For extra decoration, you can drizzle some melted chocolate on top or sprinkle chocolate shavings for a beautiful presentation.

Slice the cake into wedges and serve to your friends and family. Enjoy the rich and decadent flavors of this Nutella Double Chocolate Cake with a wonderful cup of coffee or tea. Bon appétit!
