Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup hazelnut spread
- 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and mix until well combined.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. While the cake is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, hazelnut spread, and instant coffee granules together until stiff peaks form.
5. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully roll the cake up with the parchment paper and let it cool completely.
6. Once the cake has cooled, unroll it and spread the filling evenly over the top. Roll the cake back up and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
7. To make the frosting, beat the butter and hazelnut spread together until smooth. Add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and heavy cream, and mix until well combined.
8. Spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake, using a spatula to create a bark-like texture.
9. Decorate the cake with additional hazelnuts and chocolate shavings, if desired.
