Strawberry Nutella Eclair Cake
This summer has been SO busy. I am awaiting the weekend I can just take it easy and have “no plans” that I am committed to. It isn’t a bad thing, but it seems every weekend is something… a reunion, a family picture, a birthday party, a family get together- you name it. It is keeping us busy though and the kids alway shave something to count down to.
Speaking of my cute kiddos, one thing they have not been able to get enough of this summer is strawberries. Aside from bananas, it is their favorite fruit. I always have them on hand. They are actually what inspired this yummy version of eclair cake. Let me introduce you to the Strawberry Nutella Eclair Cake.
At a local crepery, they have this particular crepe filled with custard, nutella and strawberries. The combo is obviously heavenly. So why not transfer that into an eclair cake?! I mean, it is a recipe destined to be hit! Sure enough it was!
This cake makes for the PERFECT summer treat!
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding

I try not to be a picky person, but in middle age I find your print very difficult to read, but love your recipes. Any chance you could darken your font, please?
Thank you.
