Chocolate Hazelnut Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 jar chocolate hazelnut spread Nutella
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, go ahead and do it now. I’ll wait.
- Grab your 9x13-inch baking dish and spread that glorious chocolate hazelnut spread all over the bottom like you're painting a masterpiece. Remember, thick and even, just like your eyeliner on a Friday night.
- Sprinkle the chocolate cake mix evenly over the spread. No need to be precise—this is a dump cake, not rocket science.
- Now, for the hazelnuts. Sprinkle them on top, because why not? They make everything sound a bit more gourmet.
- Drizzle the melted butter all over the top like you’re drizzling caramel on a sundae. Make sure to cover as much surface area as possible—think of it as your cake's protective buttery blanket.
- Pop that deliciously layered concoction into your preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is bubbly and has a golden hue that would make the sun jealous.
- Let it cool just a smidge before serving—because, as tempting as it is to dive right in, burning your tongue would totally ruin the experience.
- Once it's cooled slightly, grab a fancy plate (or, you know, any plate if you’re feeling low-key) and serve up a big, gooey slice. Don’t forget to add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent.

Swirl in a layer of raspberry preserves under the chocolate hazelnut spread for a pop of fruity goodness that’ll make your taste buds dance the cha-cha.

Indulgent Creamy Surprise:
Drop dollops of cream cheese on top of the cake mix before baking. As it bakes, it’ll melt into pockets of creamy, tangy bliss that will have everyone swooning.
Presentation Suggestions:
Serve this chocolatey delight on a rustic wooden board with a dusting of powdered sugar to make it look effortlessly chic—just like you!
