Rudders at Home

I made this Nutella cake ages ago, one weekend when Paul was working. I’ve been looking at this cake in Nigella’s How to be a Domestic Goddess for a couple years now, and finally got the time and ingredients together enough to make it. I’m quite impressed by how it came out.

Check out those hazelnuts! This cake took a full jar of Nutella, a half a dozen eggs and at least two bars of dark chocolate. Not to mention all the ground up hazelnuts in it as well. It was so dense and moist, it was like eating fudge. Gorgeous, dark, nutty fudge. It also took me better part of an afternoon to get it done, with planning.

Paul working weekends isn’t an ideal set up, especially on what seemed to be the sunniest weekend of the summer. And even thought we didn’t get to enjoy the weather together, we did get to enjoy the results of my baking together. Aww… isn’t that sweet? About as sweet as that cake, baby!
