Nutella Swirl Pound Cake

Nutella Pound Cake

This Nutella Swirl Pound cake is buttery and chocolatey. This cake was baked on Thursday because my son is refeering in a hockey tournament this weekend and I wanted to have a sweet treat to grab and go between games. I first saw that cake on Val's blog More Than Burnt Toast

You can bake the pound cake without the Nutella. I like to cut it in small cubes and eat it dipped in Chocolate Fondue. A delight.

Nutella is really gaining popularity in the US and seems to be everywhere. When we were in France, it practically dominated an entire isle in the super-marche.

That is one gorgeous cake. I would love a slice.

Oh, my boys would love this, and dipping it in fondue would seal the deal! I think you were absolutely right that this is a perfect thing for teens to eat on the run with busy schedules. I love how you style everything, so elegant and pretty.

Helene, the combination of Nutella and the buttery pound cake would definitely be a great treat. Hazelnuts and pound cake are two of my favorites. Thanks…

Grace said...

you could bake it without the nutella swirl, but why? nutella improves EVERYTHING! :)

Ciao Chow Linda said...

I saw this in Food and Wine and on several bloggers' sites, but yours seems to have a nice uniformity to the way it raised. Any tips on how to keep the center from sinking?

lisaiscooking said...

Looks delicious! The nutella swirls are perfect.

suzielarose said...

Ma chère Hélène, tu me fais augmenter le nombre de blogs dans mon nouveau compte de Google reader!

Tender Branson said...

Pound cake in fondue is so tasty. Mixing the nutella in with it doesn't overkill on the chocolate? Your picture, as always, is very impressive.
