How to Make Nutella Cake Filling

  • Beat the Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until it’s creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add Nutella: Gently fold in the Nutella to the creamed butter, mixing until combined and fluffy.
  • Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until it’s fully incorporated.
  • Pour in Heavy Cream: Add the heavy cream and mix until the filling is smooth and luscious.
  • Mix in Vanilla and Salt: If you’re using it, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing well to combine.
  • Use Immediately: Scoop the Nutella filling onto your cake layers or use it to frost cupcakes right away.
  • Store If Needed: If you’re not using it right away, store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

Drizzle additional Nutella on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
