Slow Cooker Nutella Giant Scone! A slow cooker Nutella cake with Nutella spread in the mixture and drizzled over the top.
Nutella cake
Don’t you just love Nutella?
If you have a blender you can actually make your own Nutella at home and the big plus is you’ll know exactly what went into it.
I’d love to try this one day and see how it tastes, but for now I just used a jar of Nutella in this recipe.
Giant scone cake
A quick treat for a very cold Saturday afternoon, I decided to base my recipe on a large round scone with added Nutella.
This makes a delicious round Nutella cake.
If you like you could cut it in half and add a layer of Nutella like you might put jam in a sponge cake.
As the scone mixture itself is not that sweet, so you can go mad with the toppings instead! It is delicious served with whipped cream and Nutella drizzled over the top.
If you fancied it, you could add chocolate chips in with the mixture too for added chocolate.
Baking in a slow cooker
I love to bake sweet treats in my slow cooker, I have more than one slow cooker so I can make a main meal for the family in one then a dessert or cake in another.
Bonuses for me of baking in a slow cooker are:
- you can do something else while baking
- as it is a slow cooker, your bake won’t burn quickly so it is more forgiving if you don’t bake much
- tastes great and makes it more fun!
- saves on energy versus using the main oven
Ingredients
You will need:
- plain (all-purpose) flour
- baking powder
- cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- butter – I used unsalted in baking recipes.
- caster (superfine) sugar
- Nutella
- milk
- whipped cream – to serve, optional
Get the quantities in the recipe card below.
Step by step
- Put the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Rub the butter into the dry ingredients.
- Put the Nutella in a small bowl and heat gently in the microwave until it is thinner and more runny.
- Stir the caster sugar into the mixture in the bowl. Then add the milk and Nutella to make a soft dough.
- Grease your slow cooker pot and line with baking paper or a large cake case. Double layers are best to prevent burning.
- Spoon the mixture into the lined pot.
- Put a tea towel under the lid, replace the lid and cook on high for 1.5 hours or until firm.
- Allow to cool, remove the cake from the pot. Drizzle it with more warmed Nutella and served with whipped cream.

Hi! You could make this in a cake tin in a big slow cooker if you have a round one that fits. Hope that helps!!
