I have used this, but Nutella is very thick and had a tendency to pull at the crumb of the cake.
I have also beaten it into chocolate SMBC, which gave it great flavor. This is the version I now use.

I love Nutella straight out of the jar! My favorite way to use it in cake is to fill chocolate fudge cupcakes with it and ice them with chocolate icing. One of my son's friends loves these so much I try to have them on hand when he comes over so he can take some home with him.

Mmmmm!! I'll have to remember this next time chocolate cupcakes appear in my kitchen! 
i am glad that someone posted this thread. i too was wondering if i could use the Nutella as a filling secured by a buttercream dam.
i may have to experiment with the hazelnuts though...i haven't figured out if to use them in the buttercream or folded into the chocolate cake batter
I have used it before with dark chocolate ganache. I put it in the micrwave for about 30 seconds...just enough to get it spreadable nothing more. Then I mixed the entire tub with about a cup and a half of ganache and put in the refrigerator for about two or three hours to thicken a little. then just spread it on the top of cake like it was a normal pudding or BC filling. It was awesome! I did this with a Double Chocolate Fudge Cake.
Where do you find Nutella? Does WM carry it and if so, what aisle. I've wanted to try it.
Nutella?? My walmart and grocery both carry it near the peanut butter
Tina, WM has it with the peanut butter, on the top shelf.

Oh thanks! I'll get it the next time I'm at WM.
It is much thinner than peanut butter. It's consistency is between chocolate syrup and peanut butter. There are recipes on their website for cookies made with it that are scrumptious. But my kids favorite thing to do with it is to spread it on crusty french bread or between two graham crackers for dessert.
My favorite thing to do with it is eat it with a spoon right out of the jar! I've done the nutella w/ whipping cream and it is fabulous!!!!
Ok, Now you all are making me hungry for a jar of Nutella and some whipped buttercream ! Yummy !
I am making hazelnut crunch cupcakes next weekend as part of my cupcake order. I am going to mix it with double chocolate BC instead of the melted chocolate. Its going on a swirl on the chocolate cupcake, then I am sprinkling chopped hazelnuts on top. I will let you know how they turn out.
