This soft bundt cake is one of those desserts that wins you over at the first bite. During baking, the hazelnut cream slightly sinks, creating a creamy and irresistible center. A perfect cake for breakfast or an afternoon snack, easy to prepare with simple ingredients.
Some desserts become immediate family favorites and this bundt cake with hazelnut cream is one of them: soft, fragrant and incredibly indulgent.
The secret of this bundt cake
The hazelnut cream is not added after baking but directly into the batter and on top, and the result is a soft bundt cake with hazelnut cream that stays tender and aromatic even the next day.

Ingredients
A soft and indulgent bundt cake with hazelnut cream that bakes right into the batter.
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 7 tbsp sunflower oil
- 7 tbsp milk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- vanilla extract
- 10.6 oz hazelnut spread (or Nutella)
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Steps
Just a few steps to turn simple ingredients into something irresistible.
Prepare the batter: Beat the eggs and sugar very well for at least 5 minutes until they are light, foamy and voluminous, this is the real secret to making the bundt cake fluffy. Add the oil and milk, then the vanilla, and finally the sifted flour with the baking powder.
Pour and bake: Now pour half of the batter into a greased and floured 9.5-inch bundt pan, add almost all the hazelnut cream slightly warmed in a bain-marie, cover with the remaining batter and finally add the remaining hazelnut cream and the dark chocolate chopped into pieces. Bake at 356°F for about 40 minutes, but always adjust based on your oven and use the toothpick test. Once cooked, dust with powdered sugar.
