Nutella Crepe Cake is an elegant, no-bake dessert made by layering delicate homemade crepes with rich Nutella. The result is a visually stunning and indulgent treat perfect for celebrations, brunches, or satisfying sweet cravings.

Ingredients

  • For the Crepes:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Filling:
  • 1½–2 cups Nutella (slightly warmed)
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, to loosen Nutella)
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped hazelnuts
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, water, flour, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter and swirl to form a thin crepe. Cook 1 minute per side until golden. Stack finished crepes and cool completely.
  3. Warm Nutella slightly to make it spreadable. Stir in a bit of heavy cream if needed.
  4. Place one crepe on a cake stand or plate. Spread a thin layer of Nutella on top. Repeat layering crepes and Nutella until all crepes are used, finishing with a plain crepe on top.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  6. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, nuts, powdered sugar, or berries if desired.

Notes

  • Crepes can be made a day ahead and stored with parchment between layers.
  • Use a spoon or offset spatula to spread Nutella evenly and rotate the cake for even layers.
  • Layer with whipped cream, mascarpone, or raspberry jam for variations.
  • Chocolate crepes or banana slices can be added for flavor twists.
  • Use chocolate ganache or spread for a nut-free version.
