01
Step 1
Start by mixing together the confectioners' sugar, almond flour, and sifted all-purpose flour in a bowl. Then, stir in the egg whites and melted butter until everything is well combined. Pop the batter into the fridge for about an hour to chill.

Step 2
When you’re ready, heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a mini muffin pan, then spoon the batter evenly into about 24 cups. Bake them on the center rack for around 12 minutes. Once done, let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully taking them out.

Step 3
Use a toothpick to poke a small hole in each cake. Fill a piping bag with Nutella and squeeze about half a teaspoon into each hole. Finally, spread a little more Nutella on top of each cake and dust them with some extra confectioners' sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
Why you’ll love it
This dessert combines the rich, creamy flavor of Nutella® with the light, nutty taste of almond sponge cakes. It’s a perfect balance of sweetness and texture, making every bite satisfying without being too heavy. Simple yet indulgent, it’s great for any occasion.
How to serve
Serve with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream to add a refreshing contrast. A dusting of powdered sugar on top can make it look even more inviting. Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat.
Storage & leftovers
Store the cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week, but bring to room temperature before serving to restore softness. Nutella®-topped cakes are best enjoyed fresh to keep the texture perfect.
