I just purchased some nutella for the first time. do you think will go good with a butter pecan cake?

TIA
Nikki

sounds delicious!

I'm so there already Nutella is great stuff. Please let us know once you have a taste

I so often eyed the nutella at the grocery store and wondered how it would taste. Please keep us posted if you do try it. Have you tried it with other flavored cakes? If so, did it taste good?

armywife1 - you must try it. I was the same - always saw it, kind of wondered, then finally bought a jar. Now I'm back to NOT buying it because really - I would eat it out of the jar with a spoon until it was gone. It is THAT good.

I went to publix yesterday for milk and eggs and i saw a coupon for $1.00 off 1 jar of Nutella. So of course i had to get it. I have a love/hate relationship with nutella. I HATE that i LOVE it so much!

Oh Yeah! My brother-in-law is Italian and he loves this stuff! He and his family put it on everything--toast even...I finally bought some to try and it is delicious! Great filling in a cake!

It is delicious. I used it in a chocolate frosting for my sour cream cupcakes. DELICIOUS!!!! I was told that it's made by the same company that makes Rochers candy. I knew it tasted familiary. It also makes a good filling for cake. YUMMY!!!!!!

i make a chocolate hazelnut cake and add some nutella to the batter and the frosting. YUMMY!

I use Nutella with bread, toast, buttercreams, ice-cream sundaes, especially banana, and (my favourite) I make hot chocolates with it (with a drop of Amaretto and cream, yum) - in fact you can't go wrong with Nutella!

Shame it doesn't dissolve well with cold liquids, but I suppose you could heat a small amount of the liquid and mix it before adding the remainder

Can you tell I like it? A LOT, lol!

I remember my mom buying it year and years ago when we lived in Germany. My sister used to eat Nutella sandwiches. I guess I'll have to buy a jar and try it as a filling.

I grew up on nutella in Italy

you want to try something great- make some fresh croissants (the tube kind is perfect) when they come out of the oven and while they are still nice and warm- cut it in half-slap some nutella in there - thats heaven

that butter pecan cake will be heavenly- trust me.

I even make cookies stuffed with nutella

Thanks for the information. I did try it this morning with peanut butter on toast. It was REALLY good.

Should I just use it as a filling by itself or mix it with BC? My biggest fear is the 2 nut flavors conflicting.

Sounds delicious!! I bought some Nutella the other day to try as a filling on a yellow cake with light chocolate buttercream. I haven't tried it yet. Let us know how the Nutella works with your butter pecan recipe. I may have to try that myself.

nutella goes great on everything
even fresh fruit - Can you tell that we buy it 2 tubs at a time from costco

metrocakes- on yellow cake its fabulous- dont hesitate

Will one jar be enough to be used as a filling for say a 9 inch cake?

what size jar and how thick do you want the layer to be?

NUTELLA ROCKS!

I believe that it is better than peanut butter. You get the best of both worlds; chocolate and nuts!

I use it in my mousse filling and my clients rave about it.

I also make Nutella Raviolis and my kids want that for dessert all the time.

Take wonton wrappers, fill them with a teaspoon of nutella, seal the wrapper, fry it in canola oil, remove and drain, then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream and VOILA, you have one of the greatest desserts ever!

One jar is PLENTY for filling one cake - even for several layers.

I bought a jar of a chocolate hazlenut spread last week. The brand was Choceur, which isn't as well known at Nutella. I bought it because it was A LOT cheaper than Nutella, but it was just as delicious! They had one called Chocolate DUO Hazelnut Spread, which is chocolate and white chocolate swirled. I only bought one jar, but I will definitley be going back this week to stock up. I used it between shortbread cookies and it was to die for! Although, we ate most of it by spoon before it made it to the cookies.

Nutella is a staple in my world it goes on everthing. When we went to Europe they put it on everything. Croissant, on crepes you buy on the street, it's a favorite spread.
I grew up on the stuff, I love it. My kids do too. Costco has it 2 huge jars at a time.

Good Luck.

I was just thinking that as it seems lots of us like Nutella, stands to reason others do - so I googled Nutella recipes. So many responses, I haven't even got past the first link:

Oooooo, this may have been a big mistake

I've whipped up heavy cream and folded nuetella into it. It's awesome!

Thanks lorivela and welcome to CC. Sounds easy enough and definitely worth a try.

I used the recipe on CC for nutella cake balls, It was fantastic and so simple. thanks for all the great ideas on this thread, I love the stuff. I did make a mistake when I bought it though, I did not use the whole jar and I put the rest in the fridge. It was hard as a rock and it says not to microwave it on the jar. I should have read the jar and not refrigerated it, but I always put a jar I open in the fridge.. I have learned my lesson. Has anyone ever tried the milky way spread. It was located in my grocery store right next to the nutella, I am curious if it is as good.
