You know the boxed cake mix that’s been sitting in your pantry since… well, you can’t actually remember how long it’s been in there safe to say that it’s been a while. Finally, it’s time to put it good use to make these rich, chocolatey Nutella cake batter brownies. Oh yes. I went there. These Nutella cake batter brownies are three of the best flavors combined into one epic dessert. Find the recipe below!
How this all began…
This was one of the most popular varieties of Cake Batter Blondies back when I shared the recipe on Girl Meets Life, and it was about time for it to make a comeback. After all, is there anything better than ….NUTELLA?
Why I love this recipe:
First, this recipe is crowd pleaser. Second, these brownies give amazing flavor with minimal effort. In actuality, the most recipe asks you to do is mix… does it get any easier than that? Lastly, the entire endeavor takes under an hour!
Clearly these are for my chocolate lovers out there. So, here’s how to make ’em!
Nutella Cake Batter Brownies
Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix *
- 1/2 cup Nutella, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- a splash – 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional mix-in)
- chocolate sprinkles (optional for topping)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the cake mix and sprinkles in a large bowl, then mix in the oil and egg.
- Add as little milk as possible slowly just until the batter is combined – you want the batter to remain as dense as possible!!!
- Place batter in a greased 8×8 pan or 8-inch cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or just until the edges turn golden. Do NOT over-bake – it’s better to err on the side of under-baked (trust me).
- Let cool for 20 minutes before cutting because the gooey center needs to set. The result will be a decadent, cake-batter texture.
* My favorite brand has always been Betty Crocker SuperMoist Yellow Cake Mix. It turns out to be the best texture and cake batter-y flavor!
As always, if you make these Nutella cake batter brownies or any of my other recipes, I would love to know how it turned out for you! Please leave a review, and be sure to tag me on Instagram @Hungry.Blonde. xoxo GG
