Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup Nutella warmed

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a loaf pan well.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time with the vanilla.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add to the batter alternating with the sour cream.
  4. Spoon half the batter into the pan, drizzle with warmed Nutella, then top with the rest and swirl with a knife.
  5. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out and slicing.

Notes

Warming the Nutella makes it swirl through without tearing the batter.
