2 Ingredients for Flourless Nutella Cake

     As I was looking through the web, I stumbled upon an interesting recipe. This recipe only requires two ingredients and I came across it while looking through the website stumbleupon.com.  I was intrigued by this dessert, because it seems fairly simple to make and I love Nutella!  It looks very delicious and moist so I am excited to make it someday.  But first I need to buy eggs and Nutella.
     The prep time is about 10 minutes,  25 minutes to cook, which is a total of 35 minutes to make this amazing dessert.


Ingredients:
4 large eggs
8 1/2 ounces of Nutella (check this weight on scale)




This is the recipe:
1. Grease a 6 or 7 inch round spring form pan.
2. Line with parchment paper on sides and on bottom.
3. Preheat oven to 350F. Beat eggs on highest speed with stand mixer until about triple in volume, about 6 minutes. The egg consistency is the key to making this recipe work, so don't try to save time on this step. Eggs must be beaten until triple in volume as that is what creates the cake.
4. Measure out Nutella into a glass bowl. Microwave Nutella for about 20 seconds to make it softer. Add in 1/3 of the egg mixture.
5. Gently stir with a spatula in the same clockwise direction until all of the egg is mixed in and no streaks remain.
6. Then add another 1/3 of egg mixture and fold again until no egg streaks remain. Pour in remaining third and make sure to scrape the foam that sticks to the mixing bowl into the batter and stir until no streaks remain. Make sure to do this in 3 batches because otherwise the whipped eggs may lose too much of the air that has been whipped into them if you try to do it all at once.
7. Pour batter into spring foam pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until knife inserted comes out clean. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan and cutting and serving.

     Since I am not much of a baker but this recipe seems fun and easy to make, I am willing to try it out and see how things go.  I like how it looks moist from the inside but crunchier on the top.  Overall, I am sure it'll taste great because in my opinion you can never go wrong with Nutella.

Ah, Nutella. You are so good. So good, in fact, that students at Columbia University have been stealing 100 pounds of you per day! http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2013/03/07/nutella-gate-columbia-students-swipe-pounds-of-popular-spread-from-cafeteria/
