Preparation technique

1. Preheating the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. This step is essential to ensure your cake bakes evenly and becomes fluffy.

2. Preparing the mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using a whisk or mixer until the mixture is smooth and lightens in color. This process will incorporate air, resulting in a fluffier cake.

3. Adding wet ingredients: Add the yogurt and soft butter to the egg and sugar mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. The yogurt not only adds moisture but also gives a delicate flavor.

4. Incorporating dry ingredients: Sift the flour together with the baking powder and gradually add it to the wet mixture. Gently mix with a spatula or whisk until there are no lumps. Avoid overmixing to preserve the cake's fluffy texture.

5. Dividing the mixture: Divide the batter into two equal parts. In one part, add the powdered vanilla, and in the other, add the Nutella. Carefully mix each composition to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

6. Assembling the cake: Grease a loaf pan with butter and sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. Pour the two mixtures alternately into the pan, creating a bicolor effect. You can use a fork to gently swirl the two colors for a marbled look.

7. Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. After 20 minutes of baking, you can add the chocolate chips on top for extra flavor and an appealing look.

8. Cooling: Once the cake is baked, check if it's done by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely.

9. Serving: Slice the cake and serve it plain or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. You can also add a chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat!

Practical tips

- Ingredients at room temperature: Make sure the eggs and butter are at room temperature for better integration into the mixture.
- Ingredient variations: You can experiment with different flavors by adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter, or you can replace Nutella with a nut or caramel spread.
- Improving texture: If you want a moister cake, you can add a few tablespoons of milk or cream.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I replace the yogurt?
Yes, you can use buttermilk or sour cream, but yogurt provides a fluffier texture.

2. How can I keep the cake fresh?
Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for a week.

3. What drinks pair well with this cake?
A fruit tea or cappuccino are excellent choices that perfectly complement the sweet taste of the cake.
