 Flourless Nutella Cake

Here's a simple and delicious recipe for a Flourless Nutella Cake:

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups Nutella (about a 13-ounce jar)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup ground almonds or almond flour
• A pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2. Beat the Eggs:

   • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed until they triple in volume and become pale and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Heat the Nutella:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the Nutella in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make it easier to mix. Alternatively, you can place the Nutella jar in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.

4. Combine Nutella and Eggs:

   • Gently fold one-third of the beaten eggs into the warmed Nutella to lighten the mixture.
   • Carefully fold in the remaining eggs, a third at a time, until fully incorporated. Be gentle to maintain as much air as possible in the batter.

5. Add Almonds and Salt:

   • Fold in the ground almonds (or almond flour) and a pinch of salt until evenly combined. Add the vanilla extract if using.

6. Bake:

   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
   • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cake has set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

7. Cool:

   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Serve:

   • Dust the cake with powdered sugar if desired, then slice and serve.

This flourless Nutella cake is rich, moist, and full of hazelnut-chocolate flavor. Enjoy!
