BANANA CAKE WITH COCOA NIBS AND NUTELLA SWIRL
I love the combo of nuts and chocolate with bananas, and I add both to every banana cake I make. This cake isn't a far cry from banana bread, but the sweet add-ins put it squarely in dessert territory.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C), with a rack in the middle. Grease and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk the butter and sugar to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well to combine. Beat in the vanilla and yogurt. Stir in the bananas and mix to combine, using a spatula to smoosh up any big chunks.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the cocoa nibs. Fold into the banana mixture, mixing just until fully combined.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and top with half the Nutella. Use a small wooden skewer or the blade of a paring knife to swirl the Nutella into the batter. Pour in the remaining batter and finish with the last of the Nutella, swirling again.
- Bake until the top of the loaf is golden brown, the sides pull slightly away from the edges of the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached (see Pro Tips in Cook's Note), 75 to 90 minutes; check after 40 minutes, and if the cake is browning too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil. Cool the loaf in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
