Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional
- ½ cup Nutella, warmed slightly for easier swirling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your batter is mixed.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
- Prepare for Swirling: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Spoon dollops of warmed Nutella on top of the batter.
- Swirl Nutella: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the Nutella into the batter to create a marbled effect throughout the loaf without fully mixing it in.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Warming the Nutella slightly makes it easier to swirl evenly through the batter.
- For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts into the batter or on top before baking.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter after adding the flour to keep the bread soft and tender.
