Ingredients
- 3.5 oz (about 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) 00 flour (Italian '00')

How to prepare the soft Nutella roll
Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form: this step is essential to obtain a soft and light sponge cake.
Separately, beat the yolks with the sugar and the vanilla extract until you obtain a light and fluffy mixture.Sift the 00 flour little by little and fold it in gently. Then fold in the whipped egg whites using movements from the bottom to the top to keep the batter airy and creamy.
This way you’ll obtain a batter perfect for a homemade soft sweet roll.Pour the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it evenly.
Bake in a preheated conventional oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 7-10 minutes. The base should be slightly golden but still soft.Once baked, immediately invert the sponge onto a clean kitchen towel, gently remove the parchment paper and roll the base up with the towel.
This trick is essential to get a perfect roll that won’t crack. Let it cool completely.Unroll the base gently and spread a generous amount of Nutella over the entire surface.
Roll the cake again, pressing it well to obtain a creamy and indulgent Nutella roll.Dust with powdered sugar and cut into pinwheels.
Your soft Nutella roll is ready: beautiful to look at and irresistible to eat!
