    Moist, buttery, and bursting with flavor, Nutella coffee cake is the perfect way to start your day. Made with a delicious crumble topping and rich swirls of Nutella, this recipe is guaranteed to be a new staple in your home.

    The first time I had this coffee cake was when Christopher and I went to a breakfast/lunch place nearby, where they serve great coffee and delicious baked goods. Christopher loves their peanut butter banana crepe. I mostly get their egg sandwich on a croissant.

    BUT, we always start with an “appetizer,” which is how I discovered the Nutella coffee cake. It was so delicious that I had to figure out how to make my own. I’ve made coffee cake for years, so I imagined I would simply add Nutella to that recipe.

    And that’s exactly what I did. But my result wasn’t as good as the bakery’s.

    It took me three tries to get it close enough. And it took me three additional trips to buy more coffee cake from that cute little shop for comparison, which, let me tell you, was a hardship.

    Helpful tips

    • Take the butter out at least a half hour before starting the recipe. I usually unwrap the butter, place it into the mixer and cut it into pats.
    • I use about a cup of Nutella for this coffee cake. Use as little or as much as you like.
    • I use the 9 cup Bundt pan in this recipe, but if you prefer to make it in a larger pan like the 12 cup, there is a slider in the recipe card that will adjust the ingredient amounts for you.
    • If the Nutella is too stiff to work with, heat it up in a small saucepan.

    How to make Nutella coffee cake

    Pre-step

    Take the butter out at least a half hour before starting the recipe.

    Step one

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and liberally grease the bundt pan.

    Get out a stand mixer.

    Step two

    Gather the beginning ingredients – softened butter and sugar. (A)

    Step three

    Add the butter and sugar in the mixer and mix until combined. It won’t be creamy. (B)

    Left - butter and sugar on a table. Right - a mixer container with butter and sugar mixed on the paddle

    Step four

    Add an egg and vanilla. (C) Mix until combined.

    Step five

    Add the second egg. (D) Mix until combined.

    Left - egg and vanilla added to the mixer. Right - the batter mixed and another egg added

    Step six

    Gather the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Also get the Nutella.

    Step seven

    Add the dry ingredients to the mixer. (E) Mix until just combined.

    Step eight

    Add sour cream. (F)

    You can use the mixer to combine the sour cream in the batter or you can fold it in with a rubber spatula.

    Left - A mixer container with the dry ingredients added to the wet ingredients. Right - the batter mixed with yogurt added to the mixer

    Step nine

    Add half the batter to the greased bundt pan. (G)

    Step ten

    Dollop as much Nutella as you want on the first layer of batter. (H)

    Left - a bundt pan with the cake batter in it. Right - nutella added to the batter

    Step eleven

    Take a knife and swirl it round the Nutella so it looks marbled.

    Step twelve

    Add the rest of the cake batter on the Nutella. (I)

    Step thirteen

    Add more spoonfuls of Nutella. (J)

    Left - batter added to the layer of nutella. Right - more nutella on top

    Step fourteen

    This next step is optional – time to make the crumble topping. Get a mixing bowl and add sugar and flour. (K)

    Step fifteen

    Add melted butter and mix together with the flour and sugar. (L)

    Left - a glass bowl with sugar and flour. Right - melted butter added to the sugar and flour

    Step sixteen

    Take a knife again and swirl it around to mix the Nutella with the batter. (M)

    Step seventeen

    Sprinkle the crumble on top of the unbaked coffee cake. (N)

    Left - Nutella swirled in the cake batter. Right - crumble on the batter in the bundt pan

    Bake for 45 minutes.

    Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.

    If you like, garnish the coffee cake with a sprinkling of confectioner’s sugar.

    Time to cut a piece.

    And eat it.

    • Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 5 – 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and on to a wire rack.

      The texture from the spelt flour is amazing! That pocket of nutella in the middle is divine.
