Ingredients

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
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup Nutella

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add Nutella: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella over the batter, then add the remaining batter on top. Use a knife to swirl the Nutella into the batter gently.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
