Ingredients
โ cup olive oil
1 ยฝ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
ยฝ teaspoon baking soda
ยฝ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
7.5 ounces pumpkin puree
1 ยฝ cups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
ยฝ cup whole hazelnuts, coarsely ground
Instructions
1-Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC).
2-Line the pan: Line a 9-inch (23 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with olive oil.
3-Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
4-Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and โ cup olive oil until smooth.
5-Combine mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until combined and no dry flour remains.
6-Divide batter: Divide the batter into three equal parts.
7-Layer in the pan: Pour one-third of the batter into the pan, then drop half of the chocolate-hazelnut spread (about ยฝ cup) in small spoonfuls randomly over the batter. Repeat with the second third of batter and the remaining chocolate-hazelnut spread (the other ยฝ cup), then finish with the last third of batter.
8-Swirl batter: Run a skewer through the batter and spread in a zigzag pattern three times to create swirls, being careful not to overmix.
9-Sprinkle nuts: Sprinkle the ground hazelnuts evenly over the top.
10-Bake cake: Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. The cake is done when the nuts are golden and toasted, the center springs back when pressed gently, a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, and the internal temperature reaches 212ยฐF (100ยฐC).
11-Cool cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

๐ Avoid overmixing the swirls to keep the marbled pattern distinct.
๐ก๏ธ Use a thermometer to ensure doneness since the chocolate spread can cause stickiness.
๐ฅ Substitute store-bought chocolate-hazelnut spread with homemade or gianduja if desired.
