Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup Nutella
  2. 1/2 cup butter, softened
  3. 1 cup sugar
  4. 2 large eggs
  5. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  6. 1 tsp baking powder
  7. 1/2 tsp salt
  8. 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are well-coated to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure complete incorporation.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Warm the Nutella in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more fluid and easier to swirl.
  7. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, then dollop half of the Nutella over the batter. Use a knife to create a marbled effect by gently swirling the Nutella into the batter.
  8. Add the remaining cake batter on top, then finish by adding the rest of the Nutella and creating another swirl pattern.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional melted Nutella before serving.

Tips

  1. Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
  2. Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and light.
  3. Grease Like a Pro: Use a pastry brush to meticulously grease the bundt pan's intricate design to prevent sticking.
  4. Nutella Swirl Technique: Warm Nutella slightly and use a knife in gentle, random motions to create beautiful marbling.
  5. Check for Doneness: Use the toothpick test—it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing to maintain its structural integrity.
  7. Optional Enhancements: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle extra melted Nutella for a stunning presentation.
