Ingredients
  

  • cooking spray

Cake:

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder plus more for dusting
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ tablespoons melted butter

Filling:

  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup chocolate-hazelnut spread such as Nutella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a jelly roll or rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  • Make cake: Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
  • Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla. Beat in flour mixture on low speed in thirds, alternating with melted butter, until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan (the thickness should be less than 1/4 inch).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 8 to 9 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • Flip cake upside-down out of the pan onto a new sheet of parchment paper. Remove the used parchment paper gently from the top of cake. Roll cake, starting at one end of the paper, into a tube until it is completely rolled into the parchment. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Make filling: Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl with an electric mixer until medium peaks form. Mix in chocolate-hazelnut spread until well combined.
  • Unroll cake and spread evenly with filling. Roll up cake with filling, keeping in mind that cake might crack or tear easily. Dust with cocoa powder if you like.
