Notes

  1. For a light and soft cake, all-purpose flour is preferred. Using wheat flour might result in a dense cake. If you prefer to use wheat flour choose fine ground flour and add an extra 2 or 3 tablespoon of milk
  2. I have used two 7-inch cake pans. You can use the same proportion and split it into two 6-inch pans or bake the entire batch in one big pan. The baking time might vary accordingly
  3. A cheesecake pan is optional for moist chocolate nutella cake. you can use a regular pan
  4. Over-mixed batter results in a dense cake so always sieve the dry ingredients well before mixing
  5. i have microwaved it for 1 minute. just microwave till the milk turns warm. Hot milk gives a soft texture to the cake so don't skip this step
  6. you can boil milk on low- medium flame. I prefer microwaving as it saves time and avoid washing additional utensil
  7. Always store the Nutella at room temperature. About refrigerating. Nutella should be in easily spreadable consistency. Avoid lumpy thick Nutella
  8. Yes place a stand and preheat both pans for 10 minutes on medium flame. Place the cake pans on top, cover them with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes on low flame. If you are baking in one pan then cook for 30-40 mins
  9. always refrigerate Nutella cake. Especially after adding the Nutella frosting
  10. Eggless Nutella cake is super moist on its own but sugar syrup makes it best even after refrigerating. I have used around 1/4 cup
  11. we are going to refrigerate the cake multiple times it is better to use oil. Butter might make the cake dry.
