Stupid ears. I’m in hospital right now. I suppose that none of the doctors expected it to be that bad, but obviously it is. Finally I feel better and I can eat properly most of the time, so eating without chewing is just the worst-case-option.

Nevertheless, I feel that I have to share this wonderful recipe with you I made the day before I went to hospital. It is very creamy, rich and chocolaty sweet. I found it on MyChefkoch, the German food platform where I often look for interesting recipes. I slightly changed the original, left the fruit out and put some chopped chocolate on top. Mmmmmh.

Despite that it this cake can be eaten without chewing it much, it is super easy to put together. AND there is a lot of nutella inside – which is another reason why you should try it. Make sure you do not have to worry about caloriewhen eating this cake – it is not what I would call low fat, low carb or something – just delicious ;). Let’s get started.

Nutella Cream Cake

300 g (11 oz) graham crackers, crumbled
400 g (14 oz) nutella (I told you it was a lot…)
80 g (2/3 stick) butter
250 ml (1 cup) heavy cream
400 g (1, ½ cup) heavy sour cream
100 g (3,5 oz) chocolate with whole hazelnuts

Prepare a round 26 cm (10´´ or 9´´) pan by placing a baking sheet on the bottom. Place the butter in a medium-sized sauce pan and melt over low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of nutella and stir until incorporated. Add the graham cracker crumbs and stir until the crumbs have evenly sucked up the butter.

Transfer the mixture into the cake pan and press it evenly to the bottom, use a spoon for this. Let the bottom layer cool in the fridge. Beat the heavy cream in medium-sized bowl. Cream the sour heavy cream and nutella (This was my favourite part :D.).

Carefully ad the heavy cream. Use a whisk and and stir just until incorporated. Transfer the cream into the cake pan.

For the topping, chop the chocolate with a sharp knife so you get thin little sticks. Spread them on top of the cake. Let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

Found a supersized chocolate from Ritter Sport in a shop. Couldn’t leave without buying it. :D

Enjoy this creamy beauty. I guess I can post something new when I am back home again, which is supposed to be by the end of the week… But don’t worry, I already miss baking, so I will post something as fast as I can.
