Ingredients for the cake:
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2½ cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup dutched cocoa powder
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp instant espresso powder
- ½ cup butter
- Ingredients for the frosting:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups butter, softened

INSTRUCTIONS
- Place 5 eggs into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat the eggs on high speed with the whisk attachment for about 4 minutes.
- Add 2 cups sugar to the eggs and continue beating on high speed for an additional 4 minutes.
- Add the 1 tsp vanilla and 1 cup buttermilk to the eggs. Beat again just until incorporated.
- Dissolve 2 tbsp instant espresso powder with 1 cup room temperature water. Then add it to the cake batter.
- Sift, 2½ cups flour, 1 tsp salt, 1½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 cup dutched cocoa powder into the egg mixture. Then gently fold the dry ingredients into egg mixture using a whisk.
- Split the cake batter amongst 3 (9 inch) cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Meanwhile beat 16 oz softened cream cheese, 2 cups softened butter, ½ cup cocoa powder, 2½ cup powdered sugar, ½ tsp salt, and 2 cups Nutella.
- Once the cakes are baked flip them onto cooling racks and let them cool completely. If you want your cake to have a flat top, use a serrated knife to slice the top of each cake.
- Assemble the cake by frosting the top of each cake layer. Once the last cake layer is placed, Frost the top and sides of the cake.
