Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Nutella
- Eggs
- All-purpose flour
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a small baking pan or tray with parchment paper.
I mix Nutella and eggs in a bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
I add the flour and stir until a thick batter forms, making sure there are no dry spots.
I pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
I bake for about 15–20 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
I let the cake cool completely before cutting it into small bite-sized squares.
Servings and timing
I usually get about 12–16 cake bites depending on how I cut them.
Preparation time: 5–10 minutes
Cooking time: 15–20 minutes
Total time: 20–30 minutes
Variations
I sometimes add chocolate chips for extra richness.
I also sprinkle sea salt on top to balance the sweetness.
I occasionally mix in a little vanilla extract for added depth.
I like dusting the bites with powdered sugar for presentation.
I sometimes add chopped hazelnuts for crunch.
storage/reheating
I store these cake bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
I refrigerate them for up to 5 days if I want them to last longer.
I warm them in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds if I want a softer texture.
I avoid over-reheating so they don’t dry out.
