Yay! We got snow!! Loads of snow!!!
It's so beautiful - I LOVE IT!
Today is "World Nutella Day 2009" - a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella!
As I love Nutella (not as much as I love snow) I thought I would make Nigella's Nutella Cake. Instead of a large cake, I halved the recipe and made use of some small silicone molds that have been hiding at the back of the cupboard. This resulted in little half spheres of cake, sandwiched together and coated with dark ganache. Dust with icing sugar and run into the garden to take a pic - well, we do have SNOW!
The recipe is on Nigella's website: Nigella's Nutella Cake, and can also be found in her book, How to be a Domestic Goddess.I cut the recipe in half and that made about 6 small cakes.
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso will be posting a round-up of Nutella recipes, photos and everything Nutella on Monday 9th February. World Nutella Day has even got it's own website, with links to recipes from past Nutella World Days.

And I love Nutella. Unfortunately, so do my kids. So I'm always finding the empty jars I personally hid in the back of the pantry. I seriously need to find a better hiding place.
Btw, Nic, those Nutella Balls are quite the tease.

Cool shape and I like the flavors! Nutella is so addictive.
Wow, this is so creative and looks divine. I am collecting nutella recipes for my husband's company's french volunteers who can't get enough, especially when paired with chocolate!
