Nutella Bundt Cake

I have a huge love for Nutella. Seriously. That stuff is chocolate gold to me.

I may or may not eat it by the spoonful from time to time, and I may have caught my son following in my footsteps on occasion as well. He will come around the corner, mouth and lips covered in his chocolate guilt and as mad as I want to get, I can’t help but smile. Smile, because I’ve been there. Almost daily, actually ;)

This Nutella Bundt Cake, though. Oh. My. Gosh. It is BEYOND moist and is seriously a chocolate lover’s dream come true. Each and every bite is utter perfection.

The Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting. Heaven. I don’t know how else to describe the flavor other than a complete show stopper, jaw dropping, mouth watering frosting. Alls I’m saying- is that I wish it were more socially acceptable to lather just about everything I eat in it :)

Not only is this recipe beyond yummy, but the presentation is a stand out, too! It received countless compliments all around and will definitely be a recipe I make OVER and OVER again!
