Method
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease a 26 cm (10 inches) round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, 8 g of vanilla sugar, and 80 g of sugar until well combined.
Add 100 ml of vegetable oil and 100 ml of milk to the egg mixture and stir until smooth.
Sift 200 g of flour with 12 g of baking powder into the bowl. Gently fold into the wet mixture until lump-free.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
Yogurt Mixture
In another bowl, mix 150 g of Greek vanilla yogurt with 25 g of sugar, 8 g of vanilla sugar, and 1 egg until smooth.
Spoon the yogurt mixture over the cake batter in dollops.
Add Nutella in small portions throughout the batter and swirl with a skewer for a marbled effect.
Baking
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the cake is set and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and drizzling with Nutella.
Slice it up, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. It also freezes well for up to a month if wrapped properly. You can add lemon zest or almond extract for a unique flavor twist. Consider reducing the sugar moderately for a lighter version.
