I love butter cakes because they are simple, no-fuss, and taste delicious. This version has a swirl of Nutella baked in for an extra bit of sweetness.

I really love butter cakes. They are simple, no-fuss, and taste delicious.

I’ve been eating them since I was a kid and I can’t remember a time I didn’t love them.

I recently made this butter cake for a potluck. This recipe I came across was easy to follow and make in a short amount of time. You mix everything together with a mixer, swirl in the Nutella, and in the oven it goes.

I did simplify things a bit as the recipe required organic eggs and churned butter. I didn’t use those and it still turned out fine.

I couldn’t resist a slice right away. You know, for taste testing reasons. This was lovely and the Nutella acts almost as a spread on the butter cake. I’ll have to make this recipe again for my family sometime.
