Nutella roll

To prepare the Nutella roll, break the eggs into a bowl. Add the vanilla extract 1 and start mixing with an electric beater 2. When the mixture is frothy, add the sugar a little at a time 3. It’s important to maintain the frothiness.

Carry on beating until the eggs are light and fluffy 4. Turn off the beater and sift the flour directly into the egg mixture 5. Now blend the mixture very gently by making rotating movements with the spatula working from the bottom up 6

until the flour is completely folded in and the resulting mixture is fluffy and free of lumps 7. Butter and line a 12x16-inch (30x40 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, making sure that the paper sticks up over the edges so that you can lift the roll out easily once cooked. Pour the mixture into the baking pan 8 and use a spatula to gently level so that it covers the whole surface 9.

Bake in a conventional oven preheated to 430°F (220°C) for approximately 8-9 minutes. Before taking the pan out of the oven, make sure the cookie dough is perfectly cooked. Once baked 10, immediately remove the cookie dough from the baking pan and flip it onto another sheet of parchment paper 11. Let it cool down before removing the sheet of parchment paper 12 very gently. Then re-cover the dough with the parchment paper and let it cool down completely.

Pour the Nutella onto the cookie dough and spread over the whole surface with a spatula, stopping an inch (2 cm) 13 short of the edge on all sides. Roll up the rectangle from the shorter side 14. Wrap the roll in the parchment paper again, making sure that the free end of the roll is at the bottom 15, seal the sides well and let the roll rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Now unwrap the parchment paper and sprinkle the roll with cocoa 16 and then powdered sugar 17. Your Nutella roll is ready, all you need to do is serve it 18!
