Nutella Yogurt Marble Cake!

Nutella Yogurt Marble Cake

Official Post № 9:

Right now you may be asking yourself, Why do you make everything with yogurt? Well, there's lots of reasons:

• It tastes good.
• It's healthy.
• It tastes good.

Your next thought is likely along the lines of, "But yogurt and Nutella don't sound like they would taste that good together." And that's exactly what we thought when we first encountered the recipe

So there I was, perusing the interwebs (OK, so I was basically looking at fantastic food recipes on Pinterest making myself more and more hungry). I wasn't searching for yogurt recipes, but Nutella recipes. As fate would have it, one of the first recipes that came up was for some kind of yogurt Nutella cake. Sadly, the link was broken. Was I stumped? No! I had the entire internet at my fingertips! In just a few quick searches, I found out that there are many recipes out there for Nutella yogurt yogurt cakes, so it's not that strange after all! And for good reason too! As soon as you try out this recipe (which, in my humble opinion, is the best one out there :), you will understand why!

Here is what you will need:

• 1 cup yogurt
• 1/3 cup Nutella (may increase to 1/2 cup)
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 butter
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8X8 glass baking dish or round cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, eggs, and vanilla. Melt butter and whisk into mixture. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir or whisk into yogurt mixture. Pour 1/2 to 2/3 of the batter into the greased cake pan. Stir Nutella into remaining batter. Pour the Nutella batter into the pan. Gently marble the two mixtures together. Bake for 40 minutes at 350°. Refrigerate leftovers (if any).

Expert tip: Microwave Nutella for a few seconds (10-12), but not too long. When it's just right it will easily slide right out of your measuring cup and mix in quickly.

Enjoy!

Whisk together all wet ingredients except for the Nutella!

In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients

Pour 1/2 to 2/3 of mixture into prepared pan. Now get out the good stuff:

I would recommend microwaving briefly before combining with the remaining cake mixture. Pour on top of the batter in the pan.

Marble the two mixtures together. A butter knife worked great!

You know what needs to be done with this :)

If anyone can enlighten me about this phenomenon, please do. Every time we have baked this, the Nutella mixture gathers while baking in the center, and in an outer ring:

The first time we baked it, it looked done after about 30 minutes, and even a toothpick test said it was done. But, alas it was not!

The cake turns out wonderfully moist. Awesome with ice cream:

Thanks for tuning in! Please let us know how the recipes turned out! Happy yogurting!
