Method
 

Cooking Instructions
    Prepare the Baking Pan
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper so the cake releases easily after baking.
    Beat the Eggs
    1. Place eggs and sugar into a large bowl. Beat for about seven minutes until thick, pale, and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix gently.
    Mix the Dry Ingredients
    1. In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Sift everything together to remove lumps and create a lighter sponge cake.
    Fold Everything Together
    1. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Use a spatula and gentle movements. Do not overmix because the batter needs to stay airy.
    Bake the Sponge
    1. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared tray. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
    Roll While Warm
    1. Place a clean kitchen towel on the counter. Dust it with powdered sugar. Turn the warm cake onto the towel. Peel away the parchment paper and roll gently.
    Prepare the Filling
    1. Beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold in the Nutella carefully until the filling becomes smooth and creamy.
    Fill and Roll Again
    1. Unroll the cooled cake carefully. Spread the Nutella filling evenly across the surface. Roll the cake tightly again. Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

    Notes

    • Use room-temperature eggs.
    • Sift the flour and cocoa.
    • Do not overmix the batter.
    • Roll the cake while warm.
    • Cool completely before filling.
    • Chill before slicing.
    • Use a sharp knife.
    • Wipe the knife after every slice.
    • Decorate just before serving.
    • Store covered to keep fresh.
