We have a tradition at our house. Saturday is Nutella day, that is the day the kids are allowed to have Nutella spread all over their toast. They look forward to it all week long, even my 3 year old knows that Nutella is reserved for Saturday.
When I asked my son what kind of cake he wanted to have for his birthday, he quickly replied, “Chocolate cake with Nutella on it.” And that was that, so I made him a chocolate cake with the absolute best frosting EVER, a.k.a. Nutella Cloud Frosting. This is the chocolate frosting of my dreams. In fact after I made it, I text Megan to tell her that that Nutella Cloud Frosting is perfect in every way. And I wasn’t kidding, I believe that this will be my go-to chocolate frosting from now on.
