How to Make Nutella Swirl Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a glass measuring cup, lightly beat 2 large eggs with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks, 227g) softened unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes using a hand mixer at medium-high speed).
  5. With the mixer on medium-low speed, gradually add the egg mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three additions, mixing on low speed between additions until just combined. Beat for an additional 30 seconds.
  7. Spread one-third of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread half of the Nutella over the batter.
  8. Repeat with another third of the batter and the remaining Nutella.
  9. Top with the remaining batter. Lightly swirl the Nutella into the batter using a butter knife. Do not overmix.
  10. Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  12. Invert the cake onto a wire rack, turn right side up, and let cool completely (about 2 hours).
  13. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
