If you’re looking for a sweet and indulgent dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, try making a cake roll with chocolate hazelnut filling.

This delicious dessert combines a light and fluffy cake with rich chocolate and nutty hazelnut flavors for a treat that everyone will love.

Ingredients

For the cake:.

4 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:.

1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Work

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

Step 2: Make the Cake

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and creamy. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until smooth.

Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Bake the cake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes in the pan.

Once the cake is cool enough to handle, remove it from the pan by gently lifting the parchment paper and transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Make the Filling

In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate hazelnut spread and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and well combined. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake Roll

Spread the chocolate hazelnut filling over the cooled cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Starting at one of the short ends of the cake, carefully roll the cake up tightly, using the parchment paper to help lift and guide the cake.

Place the cake roll seam side down on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Variations

If you want to switch up the flavors of your cake roll, here are a few ideas:.

Replace the chocolate hazelnut spread with peanut butter for a peanut butter chocolate cake roll.
Add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries or raspberries to the filling for a fruity twist.
Mix in some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the filling to add some extra texture and flavor.
