ingredients
For the Cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup full fat plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk

ingredients
For the Nutella Ganache:
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Method
To make the cake:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Coat a bundt or tube cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Dust lightly with flour, tapping out excess.
Step 2
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Mix sugar, olive oil, yogurt, and mascarpone cheese in a large bowl using a hand mixer. Beat in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated, then add vanilla and milk.
Step 4
On low speed, mix flour mixture into wet ingredients, until just combined. Remove about 2 cups of batter into the empty flour bowl and beat in cocoa powder and Nutella. Mix until chocolate batter forms.
Step 5
Pour vanilla batter into prepared pan. Tap to even out the batter. Using a ladle or ice cream scoop, drop chocolate batter on top of vanilla batter.
Step 6
Using a knife or skewer, swirl batters together, just enough to create a marble but do not over mix.
Step 7
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for an hour before removing from the pan.
To make the ganache:
Step 1
Place Nutella in a medium bowl. Heat heavy cream, butter, salt and corn syrup in a saucepan until just about to boil.
Step 2
Pour hot cream mixture over Nutella, mix until smooth. Allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes to thicken. Pour ganache over warm cake and let set before serving.
