Today, I still love the delicious combo just as much. I mean, Nutella is great, but it’s just not the same with that chestnut delight. Even if it means multiplying calories x 2, but it is SO WORTH IT! Oh baby, I can hear my stomach growling as I write these words! Help!
So not too long ago, I decided to use both ingredients in a new way. Nothing too sophisticated- just something simple to remind me of my childhood. Crème de marrons sandwiched in between a Nutella cake. Basically, instead of using, for example, chocolate in a cake batter, I used Nutella instead. Once baked, and then left to cool, I slice it horizontally, and start spreading a thick layer of crème de marrons and stick both slices back together. Something very easy to make, as you will see in the recipe at the end of this post!

But whatever your tastebud mood may be, remember
1 (Nutella) + 1 (crème de marrons) = infinity
…because the combinations are trully limitless !

Hi Marianna,
I am from Evian, you probably know where it is since you studied in Lausanne, I live in Montreal, and I have no idea how to use baking powder.
Can you tell me how much to put in the recipe ?
Thanks
Hi Jessica, thanks for your comment! Do you have any levure chimique? You can use that to substitute for baking powder- that is what I was using when I lived in France :)
Oh and I forgot- for this amount you can use 1/2 teaspoon of levure chimique!
