Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons self-rising flour
  • 4 Tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Nutella
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
  • Chocolate sauce, for garnish (optional)

Nutella Shopping Tip

There are so many varieties of chocolate on the shelves today it can be overwhelming to pick one – as a general rule of thumb, the fewer the ingredients, the better the chocolate.

Nutella Cooking Tip

Think beyond cakes and pies – fruits like peaches, pineapple, and figs are excellent grilled – brush with melted butter or wine and sprinkle with sugar and spices for a dessert that you can feel good about.

Nutella Wine Pairing

Sweet chenin blanc, muscat, or amontillado sherry with nut-based desserts; sauternes or sweet German wines with pound cake, cheesecake, and other mildly sweet desserts; sweet chenin blanc or muscat or Alsatian vendange tardive (late harvest) wines with sweeter desserts; sweet chenin blanc or muscat or Alsatian vendange tardive (late harvest) wines, port, madeira, late-harvest zinfandel, or cabernet sauvignon or cabernet franc with chocolate desserts.
