Time 2h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 very ripe bananas (about 1 pound)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
2 tablespoons hazelnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously coat an 8 1/2-inch-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour, tap out the excess.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Mash the sugar with the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in the butter, vanilla and eggs. Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Microwave the chocolate-hazelnut spread in a small microwave-safe bowl and until pourable, about 30 seconds. Reserve 2 tablespoons in a small bowl and set aside. Spread half of the batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour the warmed hazelnut spread down the center of the batter leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around so that you have a chocolate-hazelnut center. Spread the remaining batter on top and smooth out with a spatula.
  • Bake until the top is domed, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in the pan and on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then carefully invert onto a platter or cake stand and then turn upright. Cool completely on the wire rack, about 1 hour. Microwave the reserved hazelnut spread until it can be drizzled, about 30 seconds. Drizzle the spread over the cake then sprinkle the hazelnuts down the center.
