What was the cake/dessert you loved the most when you were a child? Mine was definitely Nutella roulade. First of all, it has Nutella; secondly, well… that’s it, I simply love Nutella!
Nutella Roulade
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Pre-heat oven at 180C (170C fan).
-
Separate egg yolks and egg whites into two separate bowls. Add a pinch of salt to the whites and, using an electric whisk, beat the egg whites until they are stiff. Set aside.
-
Add the sugar to the egg yolks, and whisk for 5 minutes.
-
Add half of the flour, gently whisk with a regular whisk. Then add half of the beaten egg whites, and gently fold them in the batter, using a spatula. It is very important to fold them right: make gentle circular movements with the spatula, going up and down. Take the time needed to fold the beaten egg whites completely. Add the remaining flour and bicarbonate, whisk gently. Then finish with the remaining egg whites and fold gently.
-
Cover a baking tray with baking parchment. Pour the batter on the baking parchment and distribute it evenly, making a rectangular of approx. 40cmx35cm. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the surface of the cake is lightly golden. It is important to not overcook the cake, otherwise, it will break when you roll it.

-
Remove the cake from the oven. Prepare a tea towel, lightly wet (just spray some water on it) and place it on your working board/table. Carefully take the cake from the baking parchment (it should not be too hot), and place the cake facing directly on the wet tea towel. Carefully remove the baking parchment (see the picture)
-
Place three generous tbsp of Nutella on the cake, let it melt for a few seconds, then spread evenly. Start rolling the cake beginning at the narrow end of the cake, roll into a tight roll (you can help yourself with the tea towel).
-
Transfer the roulade onto a plate. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on top and place it in the fridge for 2 hours. Once this time has passed, remove from the fridge, slice it, and enjoy it!
