2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon hazelnut extract or vanilla
1/2 cup Nutella® hazelnut spread with cocoa
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (filberts)

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease bottom and sides of 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening; lightly flour. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, beat butter and both sugars with electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with milk, beating just until smooth. Beat in extract. Pour into pan.
Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, covering with foil during last 30 minutes of baking. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
In small microwavable bowl, microwave hazelnut spread uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until melted; stir. Drizzle over cake; sprinkle with hazelnuts.
