Banana Nutella Swirl Cake



Everyone loves Nutella.So when a friend brought me a big bottle of Nutella,besides the usual spread-on-the-bread style I thought of making it into a cake.Not unusual for me don't you think?
So it was browsing time as usual until I came upon this recipe.Easy and super duper delicious and moist.Check it out!

 Ingredients
  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup banana, mashed (about two medium bananas)
  • 1/3 cup canola oil-I used normal cooking oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp Nutella-I put 3 tbsp
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly mist a 9 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, from the flour to the cinnamon.
  3. In a smaller bowl, mix together the mashed banana, applesauce, oil, egg, and vanilla.
  4. Pour your wet ingredients into the dry, and mix just until blended.
  5. Pour into your baking dish. In half-teaspoonfuls, dot the surface of the batter with the Nutella. Using a sharp knife, swirl it through the batter.
It looks like marble.

6.Place cake in the middle of the oven and cook for 20 min.Cake is done when the tester inserted in the middle of the pan comes out clean. 
7.Cool pan on wire rack for about 20 mn.Cake will be tender and delicate,so remove carefully from pan.Or just cut and serve from the pan.

Doesn't it look awesome?It tastes awesome too!
