Happy World Nutella Day! I’m excited to be back after missing last year’s celebration. I almost missed it again, having only realized it was happening a couple days ago. I quickly searched for a recipe I could make that wasn’t too time-consuming and one that I had all the ingredients on hand.
Nutella-Swirl Pound Cake from Food & Wine fit the bill. Not only was it easy to bake, my swirl worked! I have a problem with swirl cakes. It’s got a pretty good swirl and a great taste. Not dry and the Nutella to cake ratio was perfect. No need for whipped cream or fruit with this cake. You can find the recipe HERE.
“Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso solemnly declare Sunday, February 5th “World Nutella Day 2012″ – a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella.”

Can’t think of a better way to celebrate. This pound cake looks like pure perfection. Gorgeous swirl too.
I didn’t know! It’s probably OK to celebrate tomorrow, right? 🙂
That looks really good! Definitely a good swirl. =)
How did I not know about World Nutella Day!! This looks amazing!!
Your swirls and the whole cake really look divine! You should totally join the Secret Recipe Club. It’s only once a month, so it’s pretty do-able!

I’m making this for my next book club! Thanks! I love Food and Wine.
Swirl cakes usually give me trouble too, but yours looks perfect! I need to give this one a try, and there’s no way I’m waiting for next year’s World Nutella Day 🙂
