Nutella Swirl Pound Cake is a rich, buttery loaf cake with luscious ribbons of Nutella swirled throughout. It combines the dense, soft texture of classic pound cake with the indulgent taste of hazelnut-chocolate spread, perfect for dessert, breakfast, or snacking.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Nutella, slightly warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half the Nutella over the batter and swirl with a knife or skewer.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter and Nutella, creating another swirl on top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Warm the Nutella slightly to make it easier to swirl.Fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped hazelnuts for extra flavor and texture.Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the Nutella—don’t overmix.To freeze, wrap individual slices and thaw at room temperature when ready to eat.Let the cake cool fully before slicing to keep the texture intact.
