Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix in the vanilla extract and set the batter aside.
In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Warm the Nutella slightly (about 10-15 seconds in the microwave) to make it easier to spread.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Dollop half of the cream cheese mixture and half of the Nutella on top of the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cream cheese and Nutella gently into the batter.
Add the remaining cake batter on top and repeat the dolloping and swirling process with the remaining cream cheese mixture and Nutella.
Gently tap the loaf pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles, then smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
