Best-Ever Chocolate Nutella Layer Cake

April 17, 2014 - 159 Comments

Chocolate, chocolate everywhere!

I was looking through some older posts the other day, and I came across these Chocolate Birthday Cupcakes with Nutella Cloud Frosting. And while I’ve never been fixated on Nutella desserts, I had almost forgotten how much I loved the way the sweet and hazelnutty flavour and creamy texture of Nutella added a much-welcome addition to these otherwise classic (but awesome) chocolate cupcakes.  So this week I decided to make a super-simple, quick and easy cake version of those cupcakes, embracing quality dark chocolate, extra dark cocoa powder and, of course, Nutella.

Simply put, the frosting is magical. Like unicorn and rainbows magical.

I have this thing about chocolate frosting. I kind of need it to be airy and satiny, as opposed to super-fudgy and dense–I think it pairs so well with a deep, dark moist chocolate cake, such as this one. This frosting is a take on that same Nutella Cloud Frosting I had used on the cupcakes, but I decided to add much more Nutella and a generous amount of sour cream to balance out the sweet. Rather than using the mixer, I just popped everything into my food processor and gave it a 60-second spin or so. The result was the creamiest and richest sweet chocolate frosting I’ve ever tasted.

In addition to the Nutella, we add a good dose of extra dark premium melted chocolate (I used a 70%) to help keep some of the intense chocolate flavour. The Nutella lends to the satiny texture, but because it is already quite sweet, the overall quality of this frosting is on the sweet side, but with a dark decadence. If you can’t get Nutella, or if you find you prefer a deeper flavour with minimal sweetness, you could even skip the Nutella and add a handful of ground hazelnuts. Of course the texture would change to a more rustic one, but the taste would be notably more sophisticated.

But Nutella seems to bring a nostalgic element for some, and if this cake is going anywhere near a little cakelet’s belly, I think Nutella is the way to go, because kids go, well, nuts for this stuff.

And because this cake, as simple as it is, is a celebration of chocolate, I opted for a medley of pure chocolate sprinkles as the finishing touch. It adds an interesting visual and delightful chocolaty crunch to each slice. For the piped border, I went with an unfussy shell-style border, but extended each one for a few extra seconds to create a more elongated shell look. Nothing fancy, but quick, easy and pretty. Because this frosting pipes like a dream, it makes for the perfect frosting border.

So this photo just goes to show that not all cakes look picture-perfect when sliced (this is what happens when I frost a cake and take photos 10 minutes later, rather than refrigerating it for some time to set), but holy Easter-bunny this chocolaty madness is divine. And it couldn’t be easier to create. You’ll see!

Best-Ever Chocolate & Nutella Layer Cake
Super-moist, dark chocolate cake filled and frosted with satiny dark chocolate & Nutella sour cream frosting and covered in a medley of chocolate sprinkles.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
  • 2 1/4 cups 285 grams all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/3 cups 470 grams superfine sugar
  • 3/4 cup 90 grams dark Dutch-process cocoa powder (I use Cacao Barry Extra Brute)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons 12 grams baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons 10 grams baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon 8 grams salt
  • 1 1/4 cups 300 ml buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup 180 ml brewed coffee or espresso
  • 2/3 cup 160 ml vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon 15 ml pure vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
  • 4 1/2 cups 565 grams confectioners' sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups 340 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup 280 grams Nutella (or other hazelnut spread)
  • 3/4 cup 180 ml full-fat sour cream
  • 11 ounces 330 grams best-quality dark chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tablespoon 15 ml pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
Instructions
For the Cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare three 7-inch round cake pans with nonstick spray and parchment rounds.
  2. In bowl of electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, sift all dry ingredients, including sugar. Combine eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla in a measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork.
  3. Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients mix for 1 minute on medium speed (you may need the plastic splash-guard that comes with mixer). Divide batter evenly among prepared pans--each pan should contain about 600 grams of batter.
  4. Bake the first 2 layers for 20 minutes and rotate pans in oven. Continue to bake until toothpick or skewer comes almost clean (a few crumbs), about 5 more minutes. Cool on wire racks for 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining layer, and then gently invert onto racks until completely cool.
For the Chocolate Frosting:
  1. Put all of the ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until smooth and glossy, about 1 minute. The frosting will be very soft. Refrigerate the frosting until it thickens slightly, about 15 minutes.
Assembly of the Best-Ever Chocolate & Nutella Layer Cake:
  1. Put a dollop of frosting on a 7-inch round cake board (or cake plate) or 8-inch scalloped cake board.
  2. Put your first layer top-up on the cake board or plate, and spread about 1 cup of frosting evenly across layer. Put the second cake layer on top and repeat with another layer of frosting. Put the final cake layer top-down. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and wiggle the layers into place. Refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes.
  3. Using a turntable, if possible, frost entire outside of cake with a thin layer of frosting to seal in the crumbs. Chill until the frosting begins to firm-up, about 15 minutes. Repeat with another thin layer of frosting, this time working to achieve a smooth finish. Chill for another 15 minutes.
  4. Apply a third coat of frosting to the cake. Holding a tall pastry comb in your dominant hand, press it gently against the side of the cake and keep it steady. Use the other hand to slowly rotate the turntable until you have gone all the way around the cake. Gently press some chocolate sprinkles around the bottom edge of the cake.
  5. Fit a medium pastry bag with a medium-large closed star tip, such as 1M, and fill about 2/3 full with frosting. Pipe a border around the top of the cake. Chill the cake until the frosting border firms up, at least 30 minutes.
  6. Cover the top of the cake (but not the piped border) with chocolate sprinkles. Once frosting softens again, the sprinkles will adhere to top. The cake will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Sweetapolita’s Notes:

  • If you don’t have 7-inch round cake pans, you could also use 8-inch cake pans. The layers will just be ever-so-slightly shorter.
  • For the cake layers, I use Cacao Barry Cocoa Powder – Extra Brute–it adds so much depth, chocolate-y flavour and a wonderfully dark hue.
  • For the frosting I used Callebaut Dark Callets 70.4 %  to balance the sweetness of the Nutella.
  • I used one of the Wilton Decorate Smart 3-Piece Icing Comb Set for the sides of the cake (the furthest comb to the right in the image).
  • I used a medley of chocolate vermicelli sprinkles on top, including India Tree Chocolate Vermicelli and De Ruyter Chocoadehagel. Any kind works well, but I prefer to keep it to pure chocolate vermicelli, as opposed to just chocolate jimmies.
  • Because the frosting has sour cream in it, it’s best to refrigerate this cake if it hasn’t been gobbled up after a day. Keep refrigerated at that point, and serve at room temperature (although it tastes pretty great cold too).

Happy Easter to you and your family!

Good luck & enjoy!

    You have succeeded in making me crave an overly chocolate cake. Normally I pass right over chocolate cake recipes but not only is the presentatin awesome with all those chocolate sprinkles on top and the perfect frosting on the sides, btu there’s Nutella! I may have to add some hazelnuts if I made it though.

        Hello Rosie, I love this cake and so looking forward ro bake it, I am a little concern though you mentioned to bake 2 pans first and then the 3rd one, in my baking experience when I didn’t bake the cake inmediately it turn out wierd, do I keep the unbake batch in the fridge or just hanging there?

          Hi Susanne,
          I always keep the batter at room temperature before baking, so I bake the 2 first pans and then leave the third on the counter until it goes in the oven. I do this with all of my cake layers, and don’t have any issues, so you should be okay. Hope that helps!

      Rosie, when you were expecting a cakelet did it affect your baking at all? Ever since I found out that I have a cakelet in my oven, my baking has been off! I am using the same ingredients, same recipes, same everything but something is different.

      After seeing your beautiful cake, my cravings just kicked in. I just put a chocolate cake in so let’s see what happens.

      So glad you are back on the blog. xo

    Hello from rainy London!

    Yum, yum super yum. Just made this for Easter for my husband and our friend. Used nuts instead of sprinkles and two layers instead of three, but besides that stayed faithful to the recipe and wow. It was the lick!

    The cake itself tastes just like a chocolate muffin. <3

    Next time will try with cherries and vanilla buttercream.

    Btw, I have loads if leftover icing. What to do with that next? I wonder how long it will keep.

    Many thanks Rosie for sharing this with us. As always, your posts are inspiring. :-)

    Bonjour

    Je viens de faire cuire le gâteau dans un moule de 26cm (environ 7.5 pouces) et il s’est affaissé sur son centre. J’ai respecté les ingrédients, les quantités, le temps et la température de cuisson… je n’arrive pas à savoir ce qui peu poser un souci dans mon process. Auriez vous une piste pour m’aider ?

    J’ai fait la crème, elle est parfaite ! Nous n’avons pas de “sourcream” en France, donc je l’ai remplacée par de la crème fraîche semi-épaisse légère et du mascarpone (50/50) et le résultat est impeccable !

      Hi Tanya,
      Sorry I wasn’t able to get back to you sooner, but you can refrigerate the frosting for several days, and just bring to room temperature and warm slightly in the microwave before beating back to fluffy. I’m sorry that I haven’t tried freezing it, but I find that these confectioners’ sugar-based frostings don’t tend to freeze that well. I hope you enjoyed the cake!

    Hi there !
    I made that chocolate cake… At first I was pretty scared by the liquid consistency of the batter and the fact it contains coffee ( I’m not a fan )… but GOD this cake is good. Even with my oh so horrible “mistake”… When I went to grab the cocoa powder, I realised I didn’t have much left… and had to use the very sweet nesquik ( please don’t slap me… I had no choice… ). I really didn’t expect for it to taste SO DAMN GOOD. It’s so moist and chocolaty and rich and… pfiou. Thanks to you I have found my dream chocolate recipe.
    I filled it with a white chocolate ganache and fresh strawberries…. I can’t wait to taste the whole thing :)

    Thanks again ! I love what you do ^^

    Hi Rosie,

    I made this cake for my dad’s birthday this past weekend, and my entire family loved it. I went with the larger recipe found in your Campfire Delight Cake post, and ended up with a 5-layer cake (cut 6, stopped stacking at 5). I also alternated the Nutella frosting with Campfire’s toasted marshmallow frosting. And while the cake was ridiculously decadent, it was extremely unstable. By the time we served it, it was collapsing on itself. Even though my skewers came out clean, the tops of the cakes were very sticky, and probably a little underbaked. I’m sure this contributed to the issue, but I still felt that this very moist cake was much more fragile than my favorite vanilla cake (your buttermilk cake, which is extremely easy to stack).

    Have you ever had similar issues with this cake? In the Campfire Delight post, your 6-layer cake looks pretty stable, but is it generally better to leave the 3 layers uncut? Any insight would be very helpful. I loved this chocolate cake, but would definitely need more stability if I wanted to try it as another layer cake.

    Thanks!

    Hi Rosie,
    This cake looks really yummy. Just wondering if I can use instant coffee powder instead? And use two 9 inch pans?

      Hi Catherine! Sure thing–you can use instant coffee powder. I would dissolve the powder into boiling water and add it that way. And two 9-inch pans will work just fine. You will have slightly taller layers, but it should work well. Best of luck!

    Hi Rosie,
    Am so happy I stumbled upon your blog – not only are your recipes delicious, but I am more than happy just to gaze and the photos of these cakes!

    I have been practising these cakes myself now and have a few friends/acquaintances who would like me to do them a cake for an event, but I do have a question I have not found an answer to anywhere on the web:

    How on earth do you transport your buttercream decorated cakes? The sides are so perfect and obviously cannot be touched to pick up to transfer to a cake stand (what most people want their cake displayed on). If you have the cake decorated on a cake drum do you include the cake drum in the buttercream decoration or does the decoration stop above it? If it stops above how do you get round the fact that the cake drum is going to be on display? I’m assuming you use some sort of drum/board when transporting otherwise how would you transfer cake to cake stand without sides being touched at all?

    This has been a major dilemma for me these last few months!

    Thanks so much

    I just served this cake to a party of 10 adults and they all loved it! I was worried because I know cake isn’t for everyone, but EACH GUEST cleaned their plates. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was my first attempt at a layer cake, and I am happy to say the recipe worked perfectly for me.

    I only had 9in cake pans, so there was enough batter for two layers 1.5 inch layers. I increased the baking time by about 10 minutes.

    I frosted the cake last night, left it in the fridge. When I served it today the cake was moist and delicious. I can’t wait to make some more beautiful cakes from Sweetapolita!!!

    this cake tastes divine. my first attempt was an epic failure. the cake sank in the middle and didn’t bake through completely. second try was perfect! I baked for 30 minutes rather than 20. oh the joys of a sad oven. either way, the second cake was beautiful and held up very well. thanks, Rosie! I love your website and ideas. one question, what is the benefit of baking the layers separately? you mention baking the first two together then the third separately. thanks!

    Dear Rosie, the frosting you used reminds me, somewhat, of the best, and only, chocolate frosting I use. Melt a bag (and some) of Dove milk chocolate (16oz). When warm, and off the stove, add Daisy sour cream (8oz) and mix well. It has to be Daisy brand as it does not contain any extra ingredients that could curd the frosting. I know it sound too simple, but I hope you will give it a try. It doesn’t contain extra sugar, and it is silky, smooth and just, plain divine.

      This frosting will harden a bit at room temperature, but it’s really only once it’s chilled that the frosting hardens. If you add the decorations just after frosting, I believe it would work just fine! Happy Birthday to your lucky friend!

I still can use the layers, I’ll just level them with my cake leveler. Second: The top of the layers came out very sticky, but it happens with all my cakes, what could it be and how can I prevent it?

    Just wanted to tell you I made this cake yesterday to celebrate the birthday of my Nutella-obsessed husband. He’s like a bloodhound – I will occasionally buy a jar for a treat for the kids, he will find it, and he will eat it all. I simply HAD to make him a birthday cake involving his favorite illicit treat. It was a HUGE hit with everyone at the party we had for him – my husband thinks I’m a culinary genius and my older son has requested the same cake for his upcoming birthday. I am typically quite unsuccessful at baking cakes – I’m great with cookies, breads, regular food, etc. but cakes always had a way of humbling me. This one stood out for sure – the crumb was perfect, excellent chocolate flavor without being too rich, moist, easy to work with….this will be my go-to chocolate cake recipe going forward! Thank you for sharing and making me look so good ;)

    I used this frosting recipe, paired with another nutella cake. It was very tasty but quite dense/heavy. Despite the healthy amount of nutella in the frosting, it did not taste very nutellla-y, mainly just chocolaty. I thought some good quality hazelnut flavouring/essence could have helped bump the hazelnut flavor. It also made a LOT of frosting. Enough to frost a 2-layer cake with leftover frosting for another cake, at least. Guess I’ll have to make another cake to take care of that… Poor me =)

Lastly, I’m planning on baking the actual cake one day before I frost it as I won’t have time to do it all in one day. Would That be ok? And would I freeze the cake in an airtight container or just refrigerate it?

        Often times, a chocolate cake recipe calls for coffee. The addition of coffee intensifies the flavor of the chocolate and does not usually come across once the cake is baked.

The only thing that I was dissatisfied with is the fact that the frosting didn’t taste of Nutella, it tasted more of chocolate. This is really a kick-ass chocolate cake (one of the best that I have ever tasted) , but my quest for a cake that tastes more like Nutella continues. Would love to hear from you if you have a recipe like that on this blog. Thank you, Rosie, for this amazing space..you rock!!

    Hi! This looks amazing! I’m going to make it for my friends birthday/Memorial Day bbq! Where can I purchase the chocolate you recommend? I clicked on link but since it’s a few years old, one isn’t working. Also is the salt kosher salt or regular salt? Thanks so much!!!

    The cake itself is very good! I was afraid it would be too salty with all the salt and baking soda, but it was great. (Unfortunately, my cakes fell when I rotated them). The frosting, however, is not what I expected at all. I was looking forward to a creamy nutella frosting and got a dark chocolate frosting that totally overpowered the nutella. Even doubling the nutella, the frosting tasted like dark chocolate and I could not find any other flavor. I will use the cake recipe again but will continue searching for a nutella frosting.

    Hi, firstly thank you for sharing this recipe, the cake looks amazing. I was wondering if you had the ingredient measurements for one cake…would I be right to just do a third of what you have? Want to make a last minute cake for my dad’s b’day. Thank you :)

    Hi hon love your desserts have all your books. Wondering I need to make a birthday cake for my little one. If I want to make the chocolate Nutella one I have 9inch pans and 35 people what do I do? Do I just double the recipe? What if I buy 12 inch pan do I double it and then have a 9 inch one on top doubles as well it will be a two tier?

    Amazing! Everyone LOVED this cake.

    The frosting is perfect for decorating! I made it in a mixer because the blender was too messy, and it turned out perfect after blending on high speed for a minute or so. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 min before piping.

    The cake is so moist and flavorful! I only used 2 cups of sugar, and next time I will use even less. The frosting is quite sweet, so in my opinion this helps to balance it out.

    Thank you for the amazing recipe!
