Chocolate and Nutella are a magical combination in the same way chocolate and peanut butter are.
Chocolate Cake Batter
This chocolate cake batter is one of my favorite chocolate cake batters . It’s from the Stay At Home Chef, and if you’re looking for a chocolate cake with a whole lot of chocolate flavor, this is it. It has a full 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder which gives it a beautiful dark hue and a full on chocolate flavor.
Vegetable oil and warm water are added to the batter for a moist and tender cake. The cake batter also includes buttermilk which really helps the flavor.
Nutella Frosting
The Nutella frosting is a combination of cream cheese, butter, sour cream, and powdered sugar. It is light and luscious with plenty of Nutella flavor. Since it contains cream cheese and sour cream, leftovers should be refrigerated.
