Calling all the Nutella fans out there! This super easy yet absolutely delicious Nutella loaf cake with Nutella Ganache will win so many hearts. Super moist, tender and an absolute favorite of my kids.
Nutella loaf cake is a simple yet delicious cake recipe using just a handful of ingredients. My kids absolutely love Nutella and always demand for a dessert that includes it.
What’s In My Nutella Loaf Cake Recipe:
Dairy & Pantry Ingredients:
- Nutella: The favorite of all human beings on this earth-Nutella. You can find it at many major grocery stores all round the US. We will need one and half cups of Nutella for this recipe.
- All Purpose Flour: 1 cup all-purpose flour to bind and bake this delicious loaf cake.
- Cane Sugar: I prefer cane sugar for cooking and baking. This recipe calls for ½ cup cane sugar.
- Eggs: I am using four cage-free large eggs for binding. There is no substitute for eggs for this recipe. Sorry!
- Butter: a stick of butter or 8 tablespoons of coconut oil is great for baking this Nutella loaf cake. A stick of butter sounds too much but you are going to share the slices of this delicious cake with your family, make sure to remember that lol.
- Whipping Cream: I am using ½ cup whipping cream for making the ganache. Heavy cream or full fat milk would equally work great for this ganache.
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Pink Salt or Sea Salt: Half a teaspoon pink salt to balance out the sweetness of the loaf cake and the Nutella ganache.
- Berries: We love topping this loaf cake with raspberries. You may use your choice of berries or toasted nuts for the topping.
Microwave Nutella Ganache:
Chocolate Ganache is a beautiful combination of cream and chocolate combined together to create a sauce-like texture.
My recipe is easy and can be made in the microwave in just under 2 minutes.
What to Serve Nutella Ganache with:
I like serving Nutella ganache with Crepes, cake, Nutella loaf cake and French toast. Try my cardamom crepes with Nutella Ganache and I guarantee you will fall in love with the combination!
