Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
Prepare the oven and tray
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This helps the cake release easily after baking.
Beat eggs and sugar
- In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. This creates a light and airy sponge texture.
Add vanilla
- Mix in vanilla extract gently. This enhances flavor without affecting the fluffy texture of the batter.
Mix dry ingredients
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together. This removes lumps and keeps batter smooth.
Combine mixtures
- Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture slowly. Use gentle motion to keep batter airy and light.
Bake the sponge
- Spread batter evenly in tray. Bake for 10–12 minutes until set and soft to touch.
Roll the cake
- Place warm cake on a towel. Roll gently with towel and let it cool completely in rolled shape.
Prepare filling and assemble
- Whip cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Unroll cake, spread Nutella and cream, then roll again.
Notes
- Do not overbake the sponge
- Roll cake while still warm
- Chill before slicing for clean cuts
- Add strawberries for fresh flavor
- Use dark cocoa for richer taste
- Dust with powdered sugar for presentation
- Keep filling light for better texture
