Hello, blog! Hello, food world! I’ve missed you ever so much!
I had a spectacular vacation in Italy but now I am ready to get back to baking, blogging and all my cookbooks (it seems someone has come into my house and brought more cookbooks for me to look at … I hate it when that happens!).
Before I get into my first Magazine Mondays post in awhile, I’d like to thank Wandering Coyote of ReTorte who very graciously hosted MM for me for the past month. She’s a trooper!
I have loads of bookmarked magazine recipes to try and many of them are years old so it may seem a bit unfair that this week’s offering is a brand spanking new recipe from the October 2009 issue of Food & Wine. But sometimes, jumping the queue is acceptable and in this case it’s more than acceptable. I introduce you to the Nutella-Swirl Pound Cake. The recipe, while featured in the magazine, is actually from a book called Cake Keeper Cakes: 100 Simple Recipes for Extraordinary Bundt Cakes, Pound Cakes, Snacking Cakes and Other Good-To-The-Last-Crumb Treats
People, I beg you, go buy a jar of Nutella and make this cake.
It’s a pound cake with Nutella layers and it’s … like … the best cake ever. Like. For real.
In the last week I’ve made it about five times and each time the cake disappears faster than I can slice it.
Go. Bake. This. Cake.
This week, the following dedicated MMers have reduced their magazine piles:
Wandering Coyote of ReTorte made a Chocolate Walnut Tart from Tase of Home.
Margaret of Tea and Scones made Chicken Marsala from Woman’s World Magazine.
Remember, if you post a magazine recipe just send me an e-mail (creampuffsinvenice{@}gmail{dot}com) and I’ll link to it in my next MM post.
Have a wonderful Nutella-filled week, everyone!
Ciao!

WELCOME BACK, DEAR IVONNE!! And you even grace us all with a Nutella treat - love it
09/21/09 at 5:58 am
So happy your holiday in Italy was good! My family loves pound cake. I will definitely try this one.
09/21/09 at 7:08 am
Wow you made it 5 times in one week?? Then it must have been one seriously good cake. I still have a jar of Nutella in my cupboard so mmm, maybe I should give it a go! Good to hear your holiday in Italy was great!
09/21/09 at 9:00 am
Welcome home! That does look tasty - I love Nutella.
09/21/09 at 9:28 am
OMG, that cake must be fantastic! A great comeback!
Cheers,
Rosa

oh this cake looks delicious! I love Nutella. Problem if I buy a jar though. I m afraid I ll eat the whole cake. BTW welcome back
09/21/09 at 2:31 pm
This is a GREAT excuse to buy a jar of Nutella!
09/21/09 at 4:33 pm
No way! Nutella in the cake? My brother would die for this.
09/21/09 at 5:41 pm
I’m such a nutella freak, its kind of sick. Rarely do I make it past spoon-jar-mouth, but I’m ready to make a real effort to try this cake. Looks heavenly.
09/21/09 at 6:32 pm
oh…this does not sound like a good idea for me….i think i would eat the whole thing!
09/21/09 at 6:45 pm
Oh my gosh… I just marked that page yesterday! I was trying to decide if I could throw a banana slightly past its prime into the batter… but then I didn’t end up making it. I will one of these days soon though. Yours came out great! Love the swirl!
09/21/09 at 7:23 pm
Yum, that looks great! Welcome home!
09/21/09 at 7:45 pm
It was my pleasure, Ivonne! Nice to have you back with us!
09/22/09 at 12:25 am
Oh yum that looks delicious. Love how its a nice big swirl of Nutella.
09/22/09 at 8:01 am
Welcome back to you!
Us faithful readers missed you so! What an amazing treat! I’m making this today for my kids!

(ps - click my name! I finally found a good wine review site! Told you I would!
09/22/09 at 4:08 pm
Welcome back! I just spent 2 weeks in Italy; eating nutella just about every day. This cake sounds awesome. I will be trying it soon!
09/23/09 at 3:10 pm
I love Nutella and I’ve usually got some in my pantry,
but I’ve never tried baking with it!
10/2/09 at 11:04 am
Now this is odd. I saw Nutella on special offer and got it ‘just in case’. You’re back and ‘just in case’ has arrived! Hooray! Looking forward to this one
10/11/09 at 7:48 pm
Made this cake today for a dinner with visiting family members - it was Delicious! Barely a crumb left on the platter and no leftovers to bring home. Your picture was so great I just had to try it, and glad I did.

I am in heaven! I just discovered your blog and need I say more! You see I am a “blended” Italian who did NOT grow up around family (military family) but still have fond memories of times spent in Grandma’s kitchen. She passed on some of her recipes but there is so much that was lost! I still have my memories though and look back fondly on those summers spent in Nebraska at my grandmother’s side working in the kitchen, garden, and just spending time at her side!!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to create this blog!! I look forward to the hours ahead view and reviewing each entry.
I do have a quick question… Can you recommend any sites which sell Italian ingredients? Parmagiano reggiano to be exact. We live in the interior of Alaska and there is nothing remotely close to us.
Once again thank you so very much!!

I made this Nutella pound cake, recipe from Food and Wine Magazine three times. I can never get the middle baked while the ends are more than done. It seems there is too much butter in the recipe. Can anyone help me?
01/6/10 at 9:03 am
This is a gorgeous recipe. I’m sharing it with my Twitter followers. @EllaNutellaCDN.
01/6/10 at 9:29 am
HI! Call me an idiot, but where is the recipe to this cake?…it looks delicious!
02/1/10 at 7:15 pm
[…] You may already be familiar with this book as it was featured in the October 2009 Food & Wine issue which highlighted the Nutella-Swirl Pound Cake. (I blogged about it here.) […]
