for the crust (for a 11-inch pan): Type 00 flour 4 cups (500 g); Butter ¾ cup (200 g) - (cold); Baking powder 1 tsp (5 g); Vanilla bean 1; Fine salt 1 pinch; Eggs 3.9 oz (110 g) - (approximately 2 medium); Powdered sugar 2 ½ cups (300 g)

for the filling: Nutella 0.8 cup (200 g); Cow's milk ricotta cheese 2 ⅓ cups (600 g)

Preparation

How to prepare Nutella Crumble Cake

To prepare the perfect Nutella crumble recipe, start with the crust: place the flour and sifted baking powder in a mixer 1, add the cold butter cut into pieces, flavor with vanilla bean seeds 2, add the salt 3, activate the blades and blend everything until you get a sandy, not soft, consistency.

Transfer the mixture into a large bowl, add the powdered sugar 4, the eggs 5, and quickly mix with your fingertips, crumbling the crust 6. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.

At this point, prepare the filling: sift the ricotta (if necessary, let it drain in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours) 7, add the Nutella 8, and mix with a spatula 9 until you get a homogeneous cream.

Line a round baking pan with a diameter of 11 inches with parchment paper and place a little more than half of the crumbled crust on the bottom, forming a border 10, lightly press with your hands 11, then add the Nutella filling on top 12 and level the surface without spreading the mixture on the edge.

Cover with the remaining crumbs 13, being careful to cover the filling well 14. Bake at 355°F in static mode for 80 minutes: after 40 minutes, rotate the pan for even cooking, continue baking, and when 20 minutes remain, cover with aluminum foil. Remove the Nutella crumble from the oven 15, let it cool, and then serve it.

Storage

The Nutella crumble can be stored in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for a couple of days.
If you prefer, you can freeze the cake or just the crumble and then defrost it in the fridge when needed.

Tip

For an even more indulgent version, you can make a cocoa crumble or add chocolate chips to the cream.
If using a metal mold, pay attention to the cooking, as the times might slightly reduce!
