And this actually ended up being my easiest Earthquake Cake recipe yet – all of the parts of the recipe are basically already made for you!

Next, microwave your Nutella for 10-15 seconds, just to make it spoonable (is that a word?). Spoon 8-10 large dollops over your cake mix.

Then, stir! You don't want to stir this one very much…I didn't add a frosting after baking, so I liked having bigger chunks of Nutella hidden in the cake. As always, make sure you swirl it all the way to the edges of the pan.
