Nutella Cake Mail
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup Nutella
For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 6-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Allow it to cool slightly, then whisk it into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the Nutella and beat until combined.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
Tips for mailing:
- Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from breaking or crumbling during transit.
- Place the cake in a sturdy box or container to prevent it from moving around during shipping.
- Consider using a cake box or a specialized cake shipping container to keep the cake safe and secure.
- If you're shipping the cake to a warm climate, consider using dry ice or a cold pack to keep the cake cool during transit.
- Make sure to check with your local post office for any specific regulations or restrictions on shipping perishable items like cakes.
Enjoy your delicious Nutella cake mail!
