Banana Nutella Snack Cake 🍌
A delightful and easy-to-make banana snack cake swirled with creamy Nutella and topped with a sweet glaze. Perfect for coffee time or a wholesome treat!
Equipment
- Sheet Pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup Nutella
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10 inch sheet pan with foil and give it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt and mashed banana, mixing until everything is smoothly combined.
- Gradually add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a soft, uniform dough forms.
- Set aside about 1 cup of this delicious batter for the top layer.
- Evenly spread the remaining dough onto your prepared pan using a spatula. This forms the base of your snack cake!
- In a separate small bowl, gently mix the Nutella and softened cream cheese until it's a smooth, tempting swirl.
- Spoon this creamy Nutella mixture over the dough on the pan, making sure to leave a nice 1-inch clear border around all the edges.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the reserved cake batter over the Nutella layer. It doesn't have to be perfect – it'll bake beautifully!
- Bake for approximately 24 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake part (not the Nutella swirl) comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool completely on the pan before you even think about cutting into it. This step is key for a perfect glaze!
- While the cake cools, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until you have a smooth, drizzly glaze.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the sweet glaze generously over the top before slicing into squares and enjoying this wholesome treat!
