Ingredients

Crepes

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup oil

Filling and Frosting

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 14 oz condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • Optional: hazelnuts and chocolate for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crepes: Make crepes following the given recipe, aiming for about 15 crepes approximately 8 inches in diameter each. These cocoa crepes form the delicate layers of the cake.
  2. Make the Nutella cream: In a stand-up mixer, combine the room temperature butter with cocoa powder, condensed milk, and Nutella. Whisk on medium speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Assemble the cake: Place one crepe on a serving plate, then evenly spread a layer of Nutella cream over it. Repeat this layering process with all crepes and cream, ensuring consistent cream coverage between each layer for a smooth, even cake.
  4. Frost the cake: Use the remaining cream to cover the outside of the crepe stack. You may choose to smooth the sides for a clean finish or leave the crepe edges visible for a rustic look.
  5. Decorate and chill: Garnish the top of the cake with chopped hazelnuts and shaved chocolate if desired. Allow the cake to rest in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld and the cake set for easy slicing.

Notes

  • For best results, let the cake chill overnight to fully set.
  • Use a non-stick pan for crepes to prevent tearing.
  • The size of crepes can be adjusted but 8 inches works well for even layering.
  • Room temperature butter ensures smooth mixing with other ingredients.
  • Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
