Hi Abby!

I love love love Nutella. I’m not sure subbing Nutella for the chocolate in this recipe would be that awesome. Nutella and melted chocolate have different textures, but more importantly, I think this recipe needs that intense hit of chocolate from the 3oz of bittersweet chocolate. Nutella, while it is chocolatey, isn’t that big hit of chocolate that this cake needs.

But seriously… don’t let me stop you from your Nutella dreams! Go for it and let me know how it works out for you!

Hello Joy! I’m planning to make this ckae for one (or more) of the upcoming holidays and wondered what you thought of my crazy idea! Recently, I make a Nutella pound cake (recipe for recent Food & Wine) and it was supper yummy. So that got me thinking … what would you say to subbing the chocolate here for Nutella?

I’d love to hear what you think )

I was so looking forward to this cake. But I found it dry dry. What did I do wrong? It sure is pretty though. Onward and upward.

[...] Mocha Hazelnut Marble Cake. This cake was gorgeous, classy and utterly fine… until I tried to transport it in a fancy cake stand and got this glistening chocolate glaze exactly everywhere. Everywhere. Lesson learned. [...]

Hi there

I was looking for a long time for this recipe. Loved the pictures of your cake! How do you make the 1/4 cup coffee? What is the coffee:water ratio? Can I bake it in a loaf tin to make a loaf cake?

Thanks!

I have just found your website and love it! This recipe caught my eye since my 96yo dad is a hazelnut fanatic – raises them, purchases them, forces me to bake with them…. I will be making this very very soon (when one is 96 there is no time to waste!!)

Thanks and I’ll be back.

Oh, I particularly admired your chutzpah (sp?) of gamely entering the party sans party dress (due to unfortunate inebriated rolling down hill episode), but WITH cake. ha.

I made this cake twice over the holidays. The first time was on xmas eve when we all celebrated at my sister’s house. I could tell the cake was a hit when my sister carefully removed the remaining cake from my platter to one of her own.

On New Year’s Day I brought this cake along with some our your Persimmon Bread to a potluck with my cycling friends.

They are both great! Thanks Joy.
