Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup freshly brewed coffee or hot water
- 1 cup Nutella, divided
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8–10 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and lining them with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix well using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until everything is incorporated. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently. Finally, pour in the hot coffee or water and continue mixing. The batter will be thin, which is perfect for a moist cake.
Divide the batter equally into the prepared cake pans and bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 5–10 minutes before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
For the frosting, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in ½ cup of Nutella, tasting as you go to achieve the desired sweetness and intensity of hazelnut flavor. Spread a tablespoon of Nutella (warmed slightly if necessary) on the first cake layer. Top with half of the Nutella whipped cream and sprinkle crushed Oreos. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with the remaining Nutella frosting and crushed Oreos for a final flourish.
This Nutella Oreo Fantasy Cake is the epitome of indulgence. It’s a showstopper for special occasions or a surprise pick-me-up for anyone needing a little extra sweetness. If you’re concerned about dietary restrictions, you can use gluten-free flour or a milk alternative without affecting the delicious outcome. For even more texture, toss in chopped hazelnuts or swap the Oreos for your favorite cookies. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a dinner party, or simply treating yourself, this cake’s rich flavors and eye-catching allure make it a must-bake.
