Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick, pale, and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients alternating with the milk until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until it springs back when lightly touched.
Assembly
- While the cake is still warm, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel starting from one short end. Allow it to cool completely.
- Once cooled, gently unroll the cake. Spread a layer of chocolate hazelnut spread, drizzle caramel sauce, and sprinkle chopped hazelnuts.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, starting from the same end.
- Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with whole hazelnuts.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lighter cake, use room temperature eggs. Consider adding whipped cream on top or drizzling melted dark chocolate for flair. Substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a non-dairy option.
