Receta Nutella Cake - the quick and easy version -
- 6 large eggs -separated-
- 1 pinch of salt
- 125 grams soft unsalted butter
- 400 grams Nutella (1 large jar)
- Top with Ganache and 50g toasted Hazelnuts
Method:
Preheat the oven to medium setting 180C/gas4
Get the eggs out of the fridge and leave them to stand at room temperature
While you melt the butter gently in a saucepan then
Beat the nutella and the cooled butter until perfectly integrated, that can be done in a large bowl with a whisk or fork
Then in a food processor with the eggwhite attachment beat the egg whites till you get thick snowy mix (a pinch of salt can be added, I don't, never seen the point but I am sure there is one)
Line or grease a round cake tin with loose bottom.
Incorporate the egg whites gently to the nutella mixture, little at the time.
Pour in the cake tin and bake for 40 minutes and leave to cool on a rack.
When cold, Top with Ganache and decorate with toasted Hazelnuts
