Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box / 450g vanilla or chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 110 g mayonnaise
- 2-3 tbsp cocoa powder if using a vanilla cake mix
For the Nutella Buttercream:
- 100 g spreadable Dairygold butter softened
- 100 g icing sugar
- 3 tbsp Nutella
Method
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and mayonnaise. If using a vanilla mix, sift in the cocoa powder. Beat until smooth and glossy.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the icing: Beat the Dairygold butter until creamy. Gradually add icing sugar, then fold in Nutella until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake and serve.
