Yum Alert: Banana Cake with Nutella Frosting

While Bryce & I were wishing we had some f*cking Nutella ’round this office last week, it donned on me that this recipe was in my future.  SO GOOD.

Banana Cake with Nutella Frosting

Recipe from (measurements converted) ToastyBiscuit

• 4 1/2 tbsp butter, at room temperature
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups mashed banana (about 3 large bananas)
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup buttermilk
• 2 ½ cups plain flour

Nutella Frosting

• ½ cup Nutella
• 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
• 2 big tablespoons condensed milk (or milk or cream)
• 3 cups icing sugar, sifted

1. Line a 10 inch square cake tin with non stick baking paper and set aside. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. In a freestanding mixer, beat the butter and sugar until white and creamy.
3. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add this to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix well.
4. Add the bananas, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Gently combine and mix for about two minutes.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for around 1  hour or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6. Cool the cake in the tin for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the frosting, beat the butter and Nutella until combined. Add icing sugar, a cup at a time until everything is smooth. Add the condensed milk and mix until glossy.
8. Spread the frosting onto the cooled cake.
