Hi, does anyone know how I can make a cake filling from nutella?
I'm looking to make a choc./hazelnut gnache like filling .
Thank you.

I don't add anything to my Nutella.

I'm not positive but I think one of the chocolate bc recipes on the site here has nutella in it. i'd do a search...people are always talking about that yummy stuff

Like mbelgard I prefere to use it straight from the jar. Make a dam of icing (just a line of stiff icing piped around the cake at the edge) and spoon the nutella in. YUMMMMMMMM

I just did the mexican vanilla kahlua cake from this site and did Nutella as the filling! It is awesome! I put cinnamin and kahlua in the butterceam did the dam then a layer of Nutella then frosting as the filling on top that. WOW!! That is the bestest cake ever!!!

What I do is put a thin layer of nutella on the cake to give a more strong flavor and then fill it with nutella mousse, wich is nothing but nutella folded in whipping cream. You can warm the nutella in microw. a little bit so you can spread it better.

Refrigerate the mousse about an hour before using it.

sorry, not whipping cream, whipped cream

For nutella filling. I mix chocolate pudin or vanillia pudin with nutella really yuuumyyyy

You can also just add the nutella to your ganache. I myself like to use praline paste for a stronger hazelnut flavor. Nutella is fantastic but nothing compares with the mouth-feel of ganache IMHO of course
