Nutella Cake

This cake is very simple. It's just a pound cake, baked in a loaf pan, alternated with batter and straight up nutella! The cake is buttery, and then with tasty swirls of nutella you can't go wrong. 

In a mixing bowl put:

1 stick soft unsalted butter

1/2C oil

1/4C dark brown sugar

1t vanilla extract

Cream well until smooth and light in color, then add

5 large eggs 1 at a time.

To this add

1/2C toasted ground hazelnuts

1/4t salt

3/4t baking powder

1C whole wheat flour

Again mix till smooth.

Set the oven to 325F, and spray a loaf pan, then put a strip of parchment paper in the loaf pan so the cake can be easily removed when baked.

Have 1C of nutella ready.

Then put 1/3 of the batter in the pan, and put 1/2C nutella on top of the batter. If the nutella is too stiff it can be softened in the microwave briefly, it will make it spread more easily. Repeat with the batter, and put another layer of nutella on top. Then finish with the left over batter.

With a butter knife swirl the batter with the nutella gently.

Bake it for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool. Then remove from the pan.

Enjoy with a cold glass of milk.
