Okay, I'm kind of torn!
The taste was good overall... but there were a few issues!
First, the nutella was SO hard to spread! It just wanted to stay in clumps - and the container said "do not microwave" - so it made it kind of hard to get that pretty swirl since the nutella wasn't evenly distributed. I'd suggest maybe warming the nutella (out of the container). So anyhoo - mine didn't have such a nice "swirl" look because of that.
Second issue... the recipe said to bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center came out clean. So I checked the loaf after 1 hour and a toothpick came out clean so I took it out to cool. I cooled for 15 minutes in the pan as directed, then inverted onto cooling rack, turned right-side-up and let cool.... During the cooling process, the center of the cake started to sink in! I think it really did need that extra 15 minutes because the undercooked center was SO dense that it just pulled the rest of the cake in - KWIM? When I cut the first two slices, it did seem a bit undercooked.
The overall taste was good. I'd suggest storing in airtight container and not wrapping in foil like I did! I actually ended up falling asleep during the cooling time (made it the night before) so my mom wrapped it in foil instead of putting it in a container, so I think it lost some of the softness.
Sooo... with a few changes, I think it could definitely be a hit!
