Nutella Pound Cake (#Fail)

After two pound cakes, I was feeling confident enough to make my own recipe. Inspired by a Nutella cake recipe I found, I tried to adapt it using the pound cake formula and it didn’t go so well. I won’t share my recipe here for obvious reasons. The cake “fell” – so I’m thinking adding the Nutella threw off the sugar ratio. I may attempt a modified version another day. For now we have some delicious ice cream topping (which is what the King and I call failed recipes that taste good, just don’t look good). On the plus side, we had fun making it. Here’s the Princess helping me with the Nutella.

    It makes me sad that your Nutella pound cake didn’t go well; the world could use such a thing. So I decided to try it myself. The first try just came out of the oven, and it’s a little dry, but not bad. Thought I’d share, in case you want to attack it again and improve upon mine:

    1 1/2 sticks butter
    6 oz/wt nutella
    3/4 cup sugar
    4 eggs
    1/3 cup milk
    1 1/2 Tbsp creme de cacao
    2 cups cake flour
    1/4 tsp salt
    2 tsp espresso powder

    Preheat oven to 350F. Cream together butter, sugar and Nutella. Whisk together the eggs, milk and creme de cacao in one bowl and the flour, salt and espresso in another bowl. Add half the liquids, mix to combine, half the dry, mix to combine, repeat. Pour into two prepared bread pans, bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

    I look forward to seeing how you improve upon it.
