Ingredients
1 ¾cupsall-purpose flour
1 ½teaspoonsbaking powder
½teaspoonsalt
¾cupunsalted butterroom temperature
½cupgranulated sugar
¼cupbrown sugar
2large eggsroom temperature
1 ½teaspoonspure vanilla extract
¾cupbuttermilkroom temperature
1cupchopped hazelnutsraw or roasted, optional
⅔cupNutellaor your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
In a larger bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the butter and sugars together on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs and mix on high speed for 1 minute, then beat in the vanilla extract.
Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until barely combined. Mix in the buttermilk, then add the remaining dry ingredients until just combined, being sure not to overmix. Gently fold in the hazelnuts, if using.
Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Warm the Nutella in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, just to soften it a bit. Drizzle half of the Nutella over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and drizzle with remaining Nutella, gently swirling the two with a knife. Sprinkle some hazelnuts on top, if you'd like.
Bake for 55-75 minutes, or until a skewer or knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If the bread is browning too quickly on top, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
Cool the pan on a cooling rack for at least 1 hour, then remove the bread and serve.
Notes
This Nutella bread is best stored in an airtight container, plastic zipper bag, or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh. Enjoy it within a few days - it's very moist and does tend to develop mold after 4-5 days. To combat this, you can store it in the refrigerator for 7-10 days, warming it in the microwave before eating it.You can also freeze well-wrapped slices for up to 2 months.
