Ingredients
Mini Nutella Cake Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups Nutella (or other chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place four ungreased 8-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet to ensure even heating during baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add Nutella, flour, milk, and baking powder. Using an electric hand mixer set to high speed, blend all ingredients thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Portion Batter: Evenly divide the batter among the four ramekins, adding about 5 tablespoons (roughly ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon) into each, ensuring consistent cake size.
- Bake the Cakes: Place the baking sheet with the ramekins into the preheated oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The cakes will rise during baking and then gently fall afterward, with centers that remain slightly gooey, which is the intended texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- The slightly gooey center is intentional and contributes to the cake’s moist texture.
- Do not grease the ramekins; the batter will bake perfectly without sticking.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- For added flavor, try topping the cakes with berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
