Instructions

To make the topping:

  • Mix in the cocoa powder and oats, then refrigerate until needed.

To make the Nutella Coffee Cake:

  • Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 350˚F (180˚C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 centimeter) or 9x9 inch (23x23 centimeter) baking dish with parchment paper or grease and dust well with flour.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract.
  • Mix in 1/3rd of the flour mixture, just until incorporated.
  • Mix in 1/2 cup of the yogurt.
  • Add another 1/3rd of the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of yogurt, then remaining flour mixture just until combined with no streaks of flour remaining.
  • Transfer half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Evenly top with the chocolate hazelnut spread. If needed, microwave the chocolate hazelnut spread for about 20 seconds makes it easier to spread.
  • Top with dollops of the remaining batter and use a knife or toothpick to lightly swirl.
  • Cover thoroughly with the prepared, cold topping.
  • Place the dish on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake until puffed and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes depending on the size of your pan.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
