This yummy snack cake is like a cross between a chewy blondie and a moist, fluffy cake. I don’t know why it’s called snack cake…maybe so we don’t feel guilty about eating a piece at 10 am with our morning coffee?? All I know is, this Nutella Pumpkin Swirl Snack Cake is delicious! It tastes like the holidays and it’s super easy to make!
I just love a swirled dessert, don’t you? They are so pretty and look rather impressive, but they’re super simple to make! I love when that happens!
The day we made these, I had a serious chocolate craving. I had planned on making a pumpkin dessert but I could not get chocolate off my mind. Then I found a jar of Nutella in the party, and after a spoonful (or 2), inspiration hit me for these bars. This is the perfect dessert for when you need something easy and festive but need to satisfy your chocolate cravings too!
Grab a latte or pour a cup of coffee and enjoy!
