Nutella Gooey Butter Cake

This by far is my FAVORITE DESSERT.  I am nutella fan and the fact that this is a good mix of nutella and brownie (chocolate cake).  ITS HEAVEN is all I can say.  I found this recipe on Pinterest, which then took me to Tidy Mom.

This is the recipe from her BLOG

Nutella Gooey Butter Cake

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Nutella adds a delicious twist to a St. Louis tradition, where the cake becomes the crust and holds a gooey cream cheese and Nutella filling. It's a great addition to parties or potlucks and can be prepared up to three days in advance, getting better with time.
