As promised, here are more Nutella goodies that won my heart, and will hopefully win yours too. The theme this time is slightly different as I wanted to share with you some less chocolaty treats that we can make with Nutella – apart from the first Gooey Buttercake recipe, which I must absolutely share. After all, Nutella is made of hazelnuts, which goes well with many other ingredients.
And since Nutella also tastes good when combined with a slightly more savoury flavour, I also wanted to share a pie recipe that combines Nutella and pumpkin! Read on to find out more.
#1 Nutella Gooey Buttercake
This recipe might give you an end-product that looks like brownies, but don’t be disappointed because it tastes much better than that.
I first found this recipe on tidymom.net. The word ‘gooey’ attracted me the most because I could already picture myself licking the gooeyness off my fingers while having a piece of cake!
I trusted the advice and made this cake three days in advance; I wasn’t disappointed with the result! To be honest, I did try a slice the moment I finished baking it because I just couldn’t resist. Then, I hid it from view and tried it again three days later; it did taste more heavenly!
So, no more delay and let’s get started with this yummy recipe!
Ingredients:
Cake Mix:
- 500g chocolate cake mix
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup of melted butter
Nutella Fillings:
- 225g of cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of Nutella
- 1 ½ cup of icing sugar
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in your cake mix ingredients, and beat them with an electric mixer until they are well mixed.
- Grease a rectangular cake tin (33cm x 23cm x 5cm) and line it with baking paper.
- Press the cake mix firmly to the bottom of the cake tin with your fingers.
- In another mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, 2 beaten eggs and Nutella and beat them well.
- Gradually add in the sugar while beating and continue beating until smooth.
- Spread this filling on top of the cake mix, and bake it for 40-45 minutes or until the edges turn brown.
- Remember, this is a gooey cake so it is not necessary to have the skewer test!
- Once baked, let it cool on a rack and store it in an air-tight container until the day you serve.
#2 Nutella Swirl Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 round sheet of puff pastry
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups of blended pumpkin
- ½ cup of heavy cream
- ½ cup of muscovado sugar
- 1 tsp of cinnamon powder
- ½ tsp of ground ginger
- ¼ tsp of ground cloves
- 1 tsp of salt
- ½ cup of Nutella
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
- In a pie dish, lay out the puff pastry sheet and press the edges firmly into the dish. Set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add in the other ingredients (apart from the Nutella), and stir to ensure they mix well.
- Pour half of the above mixture on top of the puff pastry in your pie dish.
- Add the Nutella to the other half of the mixture.
- Once the Nutella is mixed in, use a serving spoon to scoop up the Nutella mixture and add it in different spots in your pie dish.
- Once done, use a knife to make circular motions on the pie filling surface in order to “swirl” the filling.
- Bake it for 40-45 minutes or until the filling has set.
- Once baked, let it cool and serve at room temperature.
Serving Tip: You might want to fancy it up by drizzling some chocolate syrup on top of your cut-piece of pie before serving!
#3 Nutella Banana Bread
Having always been a great fan of banana bread, this recipe was irresistible to try.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1 tsp of salt
- ¼ cup of butter, softened
- ¾ cup of sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cup of mashed ripe banana
- ⅓ cup of milk
- 1 cup of Nutella, softened
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
- Lightly grease a loaf tin and line it with baking paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
- While beating, add the eggs one at a time into the mix and mix well. Then add the banana and milk.
- When all the ingredients in step 5 are well-mixed, add the flour mixture.
- Add the Nutella and turn the blender to its slowest speed. There is no need to mix the Nutella well into the mixture; allow the batter to have some marble-effect pattern.
- Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 50 – 55 minutes.
- Once baked, let it cool before serving.
This bread is perfect for breakfast or served with your afternoon tea!
