Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Nutella Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Cream ½ cup of softened butter and 1 cup of sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup of Nutella and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Pour in ½ cup of milk and mix briefly until the batter is smooth.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
