Additional baking powder makes a noticeable difference in lift and structure, helping the loaf bake up taller and more evenly without losing its classic pound cake crumb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/room-temperature-butter\/\">room-temperature unsalted butter<\/a>. Proper creaming is key for structure and lift. If you need a refresher, here is <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/how-to-cream-butter-and-sugar\/\">how to cream butter and sugar<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar: <\/strong>Sweetens, enhances tenderness, and helps the cake brown evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>4 eggs provide richness and stability. Make sure they are room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sour Cream: <\/strong>Adds moisture and softness without thinning the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nutella: <\/strong>Measure by volume, not eyeballing. Why? This ensures the swirls stay balanced and don\u2019t overwhelm the cake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cinnamon: <\/strong>A subtle background note that deepens the chocolate-hazelnut flavor without tasting like spice cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make and Assemble Nutella Pound Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll bake this cake at 325\u00b0F (163\u00b0C). This lower temperature helps the thick batter bake evenly without over-browning. Line a 9\u00d75-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal, and grease well. The pictured loaf pan is from Wilton and I can&#8217;t seem to find it for sale anymore, but <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38kQuEk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">here is another loaf pan<\/a> that I own and use often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll whisk the dry ingredients together, and then turn your attention to the wet ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beat the butter until smooth, then add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, a full 4\u20135 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. This step is essential for proper lift and structure. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (This is exactly how we add eggs to <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/classic-cheesecake\/\">cheesecake<\/a> batter.) Avoid over-mixing from this point on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beat in the dry ingredients, and then finish folding by hand to incorporate anything at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be very thick, which helps keep the Nutella swirls in place. You&#8217;ll have around 800g of batter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/nutella-swirl-pound-cake\/?tp_image_id=157805\"  data-pin-title=\"Nutella Swirl Pound Cake\"  data-pin-description=\"How to make Nutella swirl pound cake on sallysbakingaddiction.com\"  data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/pound-loaf-cake-batter.jpg\" alt=\"thick batter in glass bowl.\" class=\"wp-image-157805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/pound-loaf-cake-batter.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/pound-loaf-cake-batter-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/pound-loaf-cake-batter-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/pound-loaf-cake-batter-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Spoon about 1\/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.

I don\u2019t recommend plain nut butters because they won\u2019t swirl or bake the same way. One reader used Biscoff, but my team and I have not tested that. Jam works nicely, but since it&#8217;s very wet, I recommend mixing it with around 1\/2 of the plain cake batter and using that to swirl in, similar to this <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/raspberry-swirl-pound-cake\/\">raspberry swirl pound cake<\/a>. You could also use chocolate ganache. Use the same ganache used as a topping on this <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/marble-loaf-cake\/\">marble loaf cake<\/a> (step 8 in that recipe).

Grease a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38kQuEk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">9\u00d75-inch loaf pan<\/a> with nonstick spray then line the sides with parchment paper to help prevent the sides of the pound cake from burning. Lightly grease the parchment.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat together for 4-5 full minutes until light and fluffy. <i>(Here\u2019s a helpful tutorial if you need guidance on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/how-to-cream-butter-and-sugar\/\" rel=\"\">how to cream butter and sugar<\/a>.) <\/i>Stop and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a silicone spatula a couple times as needed. Add the sour cream and vanilla, and beat until combined. With the mixer running on medium speed, add the eggs one at a time and beat after each addition.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Pour in the dry ingredients and beat on low just until combined. Do not over-mix. Using a silicone spatula, fold the batter together a few times to ensure there are no pockets of flour or butter at the bottom of the bowl.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">You\u2019ll have about 3\u20133.5 cups of cake batter (around 800g). Spoon and spread about 1\/3 of the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. A <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ykIPkm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">small offset spatula<\/a> is helpful here. Spoon half of the Nutella on top and gently spread it with the back of a spoon, avoiding the edges of the pan. Gently spread another 1\/3 of the batter on top, followed by the remaining Nutella. Finish with the remaining batter. Using a knife or skewer, very gently swirl the layers together. The batter is thick, so do your best and avoid over-swirling.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Bake for 65\u201380 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs and no wet batter. Bake time is a guideline; all ovens vary, so begin checking around 1 hour. If the cake is browning too quickly on top, loosely tent with aluminum foil. <em data-start=\"4156\" data-end=\"4207\">(I usually tent the loaf after about 30 minutes.)<\/em><\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Cool the cake in the pan set on a cooling rack for 1 hour, then remove the cake from the pan and place it directly on the rack to cool completely.

Avoid low-fat or nonfat options, as they can produce a drier, less tender pound cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nutella:<\/strong> If your Nutella is extra thick and solid, it&#8217;s helpful to warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds before using.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitutions for Nutella:<\/strong> Nutella works best here because of its texture and fat content. I don\u2019t recommend plain nut butters because they won\u2019t swirl or bake the same way. One reader used Biscoff, but my team and I have not tested that. Jam works nicely, but since it&#8217;s very wet, I recommend mixing it with around 1\/2 of the plain cake batter and using that to swirl in, similar to this <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/raspberry-swirl-pound-cake\/\" rel=\"\">raspberry swirl pound cake<\/a>. You could also use chocolate ganache. Use the same ganache used as a topping on this <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/marble-loaf-cake\/\" rel=\"\">marble loaf cake<\/a> (step 8 in that recipe). Let it thicken for 20 minutes then use in place of the Nutella in the pound cake recipe below.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Updated in 2026:<\/strong> The recipe above is new and improved. If you prefer to make the original version, expect a denser, flatter loaf. To make that older version, skip the sour cream, reduce the flour to 1 and 1\/2 cups (188g), reduce the baking powder to 3\/4 teaspoon, reduce the sugar to 1 cup (200g). The bake time is around 1 hour, same oven temperature.<\/li>\n<li>Adapted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/recipes\/nutella-swirl-pound-cake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Food &amp; Wine<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Nutella-swirl pound cake is a rich, plush loaf cake swirled generously with Nutella and baked until beautifully golden.
