Banana Cake With Cocoa Nibs And Nutella Swirl Recipes

BANANA CAKE WITH COCOA NIBS AND NUTELLA SWIRL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C), with a rack in the middle. Grease and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk the butter and sugar to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well to combine. Beat in the vanilla and yogurt. Stir in the bananas and mix to combine, using a spatula to smoosh up any big chunks.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the cocoa nibs. Fold into the banana mixture, mixing just until fully combined.
• Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and top with half the Nutella. Use a small wooden skewer or the blade of a paring knife to swirl the Nutella into the batter. Pour in the remaining batter and finish with the last of the Nutella, swirling again.
• Bake until the top of the loaf is golden brown, the sides pull slightly away from the edges of the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached (see Pro Tips in Cook's Note), 75 to 90 minutes; check after 40 minutes, and if the cake is browning too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil. Cool the loaf in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

NUTELLA® SWIRL BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a bowl. Add bananas and eggs; mix well. Sift 1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons cake flour, baking soda, and salt into the butter mixture and stir to combine. Add chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Pour 1/2 the batter into the prepared pan.
• Add chocolate-hazelnut spread to the pan and spread it out. Add remaining batter evenly on top. Swirl a knife through the mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Let banana bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let it cool another 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
