In a medium bowl stir together flour and 1/2 cup cocoa powder; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat four of the eggs, the 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of the Nutella, and the melted butter with an electric mixer on low to medium speed until combined. Add flour mixture; stir until smooth. Spread batter in the prepared baking pan; set aside.
