Nutella cake

Ingredients
3 eggs, 1 cup Nutella

Method
Beat the eggs thoroughly for at least 10 minutes using a hand mixer, until light and lemony in colour. Put the Nutella in a glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds till it changes texture. Add spoonfuls of it into the egg and mix until totally incorporated. 
Preheat the oven to 170° Celsius and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into it and bake for 20-25 minutes until set. Insert a knife and if it comes out clean, your cake is ready. Cool before slicing. This cake tastes best cold.
