I made this cake for fathers day, along with the other father’s day recipes from your holiday book, but only making it one layer instead of two (or 4!). All I can say is that I had one very happy father-in-law! The chocolate, nutella and strawberries are perfect together and the whipped cream topping adds even more deliciousness. Love this cake!

I made this cake for Easter and my family absolutely loved it. It was so simple and easy and took no time at all to make. I let the cakes sit overnight and finished it right before we went to my mothers for lunch and you couldn’t tell that they weren’t freshly made that morning. I left what was left over with my mom and dad and she said it took him no time to finish it off (he has a notorious sweet tooth). I will definitely be making this again.

I made this as a Valentine’s Day dessert and it was a hit. The recipe for the cake was very easy and quick. Assembling it was a cinch as well, and the result is delicious and very impressive! (I should have taken a picture.)

Huge hit! This is a great, easy recipe. I was able to serve it while the cake was still a bit warm and it’s really delicious if you can do it that way! Definitely follow Ree’s recommendation to not assemble too soon before you serve!

Made this the day it was featured on Ree’s Food Network show and my entire family LOVED it! It went together exactly as described and made for a gorgeous presentation. The Nutella was the perfect accent to Ree’s chocolate cake. The strawberries helped cut the richness. Amazing. Will absolutely make again. In fact, we’re making it today.

The cake tasted great. However, it did not stay together, at all. A few things I would do differently next time… warm the Nutella in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds prior to spreading on the cake. I didn’t do this for the first layer but did for the second layer and the Nutella spread much easier.

I also spread the Nutella on the first layer and then placed that layer in the fridge while I made the whipped cream. Just to give it a few minutes to set so it wouldn’t mix with the whipped cream. When adding the strawberries I should have only placed them in the center of each layer. I made the mistake of spreading them all around on the first layer and when the second layer was placed on top it caused the strawberries to over flow.
I would make this cake again!
