Chocolate Hazelnut Swiss Roll Cake
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a jelly roll or rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Make the cake: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.

  3. 3

    Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture triples in volume, about 5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in thirds, alternating with the melted butter, until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan, ensuring the batter is less than 1/4 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 8 to 9 minutes. Let cool completely.

  5. 5

    Flip the cake upside down out of the pan onto a new sheet of parchment paper. Carefully peel off the used parchment from the top of the cake. Roll the cake, starting at one end of the paper, into a tube until it is fully wrapped in the parchment. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

  6. 6

    Make the filling: Whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until medium peaks form. Mix in the chocolate-hazelnut spread until well combined.

  7. 7

    Unroll the cake and spread the filling evenly over it. Roll the cake back up with the filling, noting the cake may crack or tear easily. Dust with cocoa powder if you like.
