Easy Breezy Nutella Nescafe Cake

I am not sure about you but I am am one of those that can' t leave food untouched. If you are following, I bought a tub of Nutella almost 3 weeks ago for my recipe Super Duper 8 Nutella Lava Cookies and  have been thinking how to finish the rest of the tub up!

This is really a simple coffee cake recipe that I have used the Nutella as icing then sprinkle with some crushed walnuts. A little creativity in baking gets you a long way!

Simply divine with minimal effort and time. My kind of recipe!

Remember to grease the baking pan with butter then dust with some flour to ensure the cake can be taken out easily from the banking pan.

Try making sure the mixture is smooth and pour them into the baking pan. I used a spring baking tin for the ease of removing the cake from the pan with minimum damage... I am a clumsy and inpatient person..
