This Nutella Mud Cake is incredibly sinful but heavenly yummy! This recipe was adapted from The Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook but I’ve changed the chocolate to Nutella. This cake is very easy to make without the need of an electric mixer. Just simply melt the Nutella spread, butter and sugar together, then add in the flour and egg. One thing you should not miss out is the liqueur, rum. This cake is full of aromatic rum flavour, dense, moist, rich and fudgy. If you’re a Nutella fan you must try this!

  • I use Honest Cooking’s Recipes quite frequently, but am usually a bit turned off by the use of ounces/grams instead of Standard measurement-good old fashioned cups & spoons. I realize that the former is most accurate. However, I feel as if your writers all believe us commoners should also own a scale to weigh our ingredients-this is simply not the case. Please give us the option as readers (& Bakers!) to use Cups & Spoons!

  • Thank you so much, I made this cake today and I must say it did not disappoint, it tastes so good it’s dangerous and having just tried it, I found it difficult to stop at one piece, The recipe was easy to follow and accurate, this cake will definitely go on my favourites list and this is the first recipe review I’ve ever written, so impressed,??
