Equipment

  • 20 cm springform pan

Ingredients
  

Cake base

  • 215 grams flour
  • 85 grams sugar
  • 3.5 grams baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 90 grams butter
  • 28 grams cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt

Filling

  • 350 grams mascarpone
  • 1.5 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 3 teaspoons milk
  • 1.5 teaspoons honey
  • 175 grams Nutella

Additionally

  • cocoa / powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix the softened butter and the sugar until mixed and very soft.
  • Add the egg, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Work by hands for 5-8 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone with milk, honey, and powdered sugar until well mixed.
  • Cut 1/3 of the batter as you will need to crumble it on top of the cake. Spread the rest into the bottom and sides of a springform pan.
  • Spread the Nutella evenly on the batter and store in the freezer for 30 minutes. Turn on the oven at 180°C.
  • After 30 minutes, take the pan out of the freezer and add the mascarpone filling evenly. Crumble the rest of the batter, that you left aside earlier, on the mascarpone filling to cover it completely.
  • Cook in the pre-heated oven for around 40 minutes. Wait for it to cool down before serving. Sprinkle some cocoa powder and/or powdered sugar on top.
