Nutella Chocolate Cake is a dense and fluffy chocolate mud cake with a creamy Nutella Buttercream filling and topping and finished with Nutella drizzled over top.
You guys, this cake is AMAZING!
And I don’t even like cake that much. I ate a number of slices, which is saying something for me. This cake is special becasue 1) it has Nutella 2) its four layers! Yes four! and 3) its a celebration cake. Why?….

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas and are enjoying their holidays. I know I am! Some of that joy comes from making the Hummingbird Cake again. I can’t tell you how much I love Hummingbird Cake.
The first recipe of the week is Hummingbird Cake: A super moist pineapple, banana and walnut cake topped and filled with cream cheese icing. This is a timeless traditional cake and when I served this to my family it was gone in seconds. Seriously, it’s that good!
Date and Caramel Cake is a soft and fluffy caramel cake with a chewy caramel and date puree filling and a caramel and date frosting. Topped with caramelized hazelnuts. This is one cake you are going to want to make RIGHT. NOW!
It’s been a while since I posted a cake recipe on the blog and I thought it about time to change that! My last cake recipe was my Egg Yolk Sponge cake from nearly three months ago! There are a few reasons for this absence of cake.
The first is I’m not a big fan of cake. I love looking at amazing cakes, being them, eating the raw batter of them (naughty I know), but actually eating the final product isn’t as appealing as say a fudgy brownie or an ooey gooey dessert. As you may have guessed, I’m more of a goo person than a structured cake person.
Egg Yolk Sponge Cake is a super light and fluffy sponge relying on egg yolks as the base which delivers a rich and fluffy sponge. Filled with whipped cream and jam, dusted with icing sugar and you have a classic sponge cake for dessert, morning tea or just for fun.
I discovered a recipe for egg yolk sponge cake on Nigella Lawson’s community site. I had mad a pavlova for Christmas and had egg yolks left over. I scoured the internet for recipes that only required egg yolks and stumbled across this recipe. I have never been a huge a fan of sponge – I just don’t see the point in them – but a sponge with just egg yolks? This was far too intriguing not to make.
Mini Cookies and Cream Cupcakes are perfect little bite sized chocolate cupcakes topped with a cooked and cream buttercream.
How cute are these? I’m a little obsessed with how cute and wittle they are!
You may have seen my post and recipe for Mini Chocolate Cupcakes before. They were the inspiration for these little guys. The cupcake batter is the same as my chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting recipe. It is my all time favourite cupcakes recipe so becomes the base for all my chocolate cupcake creations.
