Add the oil and the water to the mixture and whisk together.
-
STEP 3
Then add the flour by sifting it together with the baking powder and stir again briefly.

Fill a piping bag with Nutella®. Slice the cakes into two halves horizontally. Spread on 7g of Nutella® and put the two layers back together again so that they resemble a sandwich.

Place a Christmas themed stencil (a reindeer or Christmas tree for example), on top of each cake and sprinkle on a thin layer of icing sugar. Then you can enjoy!
