I have made this cake twice. The first time I used this lovely recipe by the Pioneer Woman: The Pioneer Woman's Cake It was delicious and beautiful. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of it.
The second time I made this cake I 400% cheated. My friends and I are on vacation in North Carolina and I didn't want to have to buy flour and sugar and baking powder and whatnot and have to carry all the extra back home. So a boxed cake mix fit the bill. I also didn't want to have any leftover whipped cream so I went with cool whip instead. This version barely even deserves a recipe it's so easy.
You may also notice I didn't add strawberries. That is because I forgot them at the store and the fruit market we stopped at on the way back didn't have any.
I am a cake failure.
Well I guess not really because the cake was a big hit! My friends all loved it! And it served my purposes, there weren't any leftover ingredients I have to lug back home.
For the real version click the link above. For the cheater's version:
Cheater's Chocolate Nutella Cake with Whipped Cream
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- eggs
- water
- oil
- Cool Whip
- Nutella
Bake the cake according to package directions, baking in 2 8 or 9 inch cake pans. Allow to cool.
Turn out one cake onto the cake pan and spread liberally with nutella. Then spread cool whip over that. Place the other cake over top and repeat, spreading with nutella and cool whip. I liked the rustic look and left the sides unfrosted but you could frost around the sides too.
Slice and enjoy!
