Baking time: 20-30 minutes
Total time: 35-45 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs (make sure they are at room temperature, take them out of the fridge a few hours beforehand)
- 1 jar of 850 g Nutella (or chocolate hazelnut spread, preferably of high quality)

Brief history:
The Nutella cake has become an extremely popular dessert, loved by chocolate lovers all over the world. This simple recipe has won hearts due to its unique texture and intense chocolate flavor, which fits perfectly with various occasions, from parties to romantic dates. What makes this recipe truly special is that it requires no flour, making it ideal for those following a gluten-free diet.

Preparation steps:
1. Beat the eggs: Start by beating the eggs in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat them until they triple in volume, which should take about 15 minutes. It is important to take short breaks to avoid overheating the mixer. If you don’t have a mixer, you can use a whisk, but it will take a little longer.

2. Heat the Nutella: While beating the eggs, place the Nutella in a saucepan and heat it over a double boiler. Be careful not to let it boil, just warm it until it becomes liquid and easy to mix. This step is essential for achieving a uniform texture.

3. Combine the ingredients: Once the eggs are beaten, remove the Nutella from the heat and gradually add it to the eggs, gently folding with a spatula from bottom to top. It is important not to mix too vigorously to maintain the air in the eggs, which will help the cake to be fluffy.

4. Bake the cake: Pour the mixture into a baking pan lined with parchment paper and place it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes. If you want a softer interior, you can take it out after 20 minutes. Once the time is up, turn off the oven and let the cake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 10 minutes. This trick will prevent the cake from sinking.

Serving suggestions:
The Nutella cake is delicious served warm, alongside vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, but you can also enjoy it cold, dusted with powdered sugar. You can also add chopped nuts or raisins to the mix for extra texture and flavor.

Calories and nutritional benefits:
This cake is a true indulgence, with about 350 calories per serving, but it also offers benefits due to the hazelnuts in Nutella, which are rich in healthy fats, proteins, and vitamins. However, moderate consumption is recommended, especially for those mindful of their caloric intake.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use another type of chocolate spread? Absolutely! You can experiment with other types of chocolate spreads, but make sure they have a similar consistency to Nutella.
- What can I do if I don’t have a double boiler? You can heat the Nutella in the microwave, but be careful to do it in 15-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
- How can I make the cake less sweet? You can reduce the amount of Nutella to 700 g and add a pinch of salt to balance the flavor.

Possible variations:
- Add flavor: A drop of vanilla extract or a bit of instant coffee can enhance the chocolate flavor.
- With fruits: You can add pieces of bananas or strawberries to the mix for an extra burst of flavor.
- Vegan option: Replace the eggs with a mixture of flaxseeds and water (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds + 3 tablespoons of water for each egg).

This Nutella cake is more than just a dessert; it’s a cooking experience that will bring a smile to your face. So, get ready to enjoy every bite and don’t forget to share this recipe with your friends and family! Enjoy!
