Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cake
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Nutella

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
  6. Mix until just combined.
Assembly
  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella over the batter and swirl it gently with a knife.
  3. Pour the remaining batter on top and again add Nutella swirls.
Baking
  1. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Make sure your butter is softened for a light batter and avoid overmixing the dry ingredients.
