Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Nutella
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 2 of the large eggs. Stir until a thick and smooth dough forms.
Press the cake mix dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming an even layer. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to blend the cream cheese and Nutella together until smooth and creamy.
Add the remaining 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the Nutella mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract and optional salt for added flavor balance.
Pour the Nutella filling over the cake base in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly browned, but the center remains slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking to preserve the gooey texture.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Optionally, dust the top of the cooled cake with additional powdered sugar before serving.
