Ingredients
- 6 small sponge cakes available in the fresh bread aisle of your grocery- about 2 inches in diameter with a depression in the center
- 6 Tbs Strawberry Jam
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 6 oz cream cheese such as Philadelphia ® - softened to room temp
- ¼ Cup Nutella ® Hazelnut Spread
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp pure almond extract
- 1 tbs Espresso instant powder
- 1-2 Cups Confectioners Powder – add ½ cup at a time
- Finely chopped pecans or peanuts
Instructions
- Set each of the cakes out on a plate. Spoon 1 Tbs of strawberry jam into the indention in each cake. Set aside and set up your stand mixer to make the icing.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat butter on medium until creamy. Add cream cheese, hazelnut spread, vanilla, almond extract and Espresso powder. Beat on low speed until fluffy and all mixed in. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the confectioners sugar – ½ cup at a time, beating on a low speed until it is well combined. Taste after each ½ cup and stop when adjusted to your tastes
- Using either a knife to spread on the top of the jam cake or using a piping bag – spread the frosting. Top with chopped nuts. Serve with ice cold milk or hot coffee (or both!)
Notes
In these photos I have used a piping tip to place the nutella, but you don't have to do that. Spooning the nutella will work just as well.
