How to Make Decadent Chocolate Jelly Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and vanilla extract for 2 minutes until frothy.
  3. Gradually add sugar in three additions, beating for 5 minutes until thick and pale yellow.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, generously dust a clean kitchen towel with icing sugar.
  9. Carefully invert the cake onto the sugared towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
  10. Starting from the short end, tightly roll the cake and towel together. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. To prepare the filling: In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add icing sugar and cocoa powder, beating until stiff peaks form.
  12. Unroll the cooled cake. Spread with hazelnut spread, followed by the whipped cream mixture.
  13. Reroll the cake (without the towel) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
