This year for her birthday my daughter Elizabeth came up with a plan for her cake. She wanted to combine two of her favorite things, Creme de Marron and Nutella as a filling for her cake. Creme de Marron is a chestnut spread our friend Fannette sends us from France. Everyone loves Nutella's hazelnut goodness especially us. So we came up with this recipe and thought we would share.
Shopping list:
1 box white cake mix
1 jar Nutella
1 tube Creme de marron ( I will put a link to purchase at the end of the post)
1 container whipped cream or cool whip
1 basket fresh strawberries sliced lengthwise. Save several whole to place on top for decoration
Instructions:
Bake cake mix according to directions on box in two 8' in. round pans. Let cool. Mix nutella and creme de marron together in a bowl. Spread evenly on bottom round until covered. Place sliced strawberries on top of filling. Place second 8 in. round on top. Spread whipped cream until covered completely. Slice and serve.
A light summery cake perfect for your 4th of July picnic or summer birthday.
Oh man, this cake looks so good! I am a big fan of Nutella. When I lived in Austria we ate it on so many foods...I'm glad we can find it here in the US :)
Wow, that looks so yummy! Happy birthday to your daughter :)
