Nutella Crepe Cake Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with making cocoa-flavored crepes from a batter of eggs, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, milk, and neutral cooking oil. The crepes are cooked to about 8-inch size and stacked, using a rich crepe cream made by combining room-temperature unsalted butter with cocoa powder, condensed milk, and Nutella until smooth.
The cake is assembled by evenly spreading the cream between each crepe layer and coating the outside with the remaining buttercream. The layered structure provides alternating thin, tender crepe sheets and a creamy, chocolate-hazelnut filling.
After decoration with hazelnuts and chocolate, the cake is best rested for at least 10 hours to let the cream set and flavors meld. This dessert serves well as a festive centerpiece with its notable Nutella flavor and soft texture.
Incorporating cocoa powder into the flour for the crepes ensures an even chocolate taste throughout the layers.
