Eggless Mimosa Cake with Nutella
March 8th is approaching and, as tradition dictates, it’s time to prepare the mimosa. Since my husband loves Nutella but doesn’t eat eggs, I decided to make him happy with an eggless version filled with Nutella, a true delicacy! A very simple dessert to prepare and great to serve at the end of a meal and not only! The mimosa is my favorite cake and I tell you that I don’t prepare it only for Women’s Day but at least 4/5 times a year 🙈.

Ingredients for Eggless Mimosa Cake with Nutella:
8-inch pan
- 7 oz milk

Steps
For preparing the eggless mimosa cake with Nutella watch the video HERE.
In a bowl, combine milk, oil, vanilla, a bit of lemon zest, sugar, and mix. Add the potato starch.
Add the flour gradually while mixing with an electric mixer. Finally, add the baking powder and mix well. Pour the batter into a floured mold and bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes.
Once ready, let it cool completely, then cut off the dome to level the sponge cake (if needed), and cut a thin layer. Also, cut the edge and then divide it into two equal discs.
Take the first disc (the thin one) and cut it into cubes, also cut the dome and keep it for decoration.
Prepare the syrup by mixing water and sugar
Add a bit of rum flavor or other aromas as desired and mix. Place the first sponge cake disc, and soak it.
Add a layer of Nutella (about 3 1/2 oz) and some hazelnut sprinkles. Add the second sponge cake disc, soak it, then cover the entire surface with Nutella (about 5 1/2 oz) including the edges.
If needed, clean the plate edge, then cover with the previously cut cubes. Add some hazelnut sprinkles on top and decorate as desired.
Enjoy!
