-
- Add in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined. - - 4. Sift in the flour and whisk briefly until just mixed in; do not over-mix. - - 5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and sugar until stiff and glossy peaks form. This will take around 2-5 minutes depending on your mixer.
-
- Loosen up the egg yolk mixture by whisking in 1/4 of the egg whites until the whole mixture is one even color. - - 7. Fold in another 1/4 of the egg whites gently using stroke-like 'figure 8' motions. Repeat for the rest of the egg whites making sure to maintain the air whipped into them.
-
- Pour the batter into a 12"x 12" pan lined with parchment paper. Drop this pan on the table 2-3 times from 25cm above to release all the air bubbles. - - 9. Bake at 200c for 10 minutes only. Do not over-bake; keep a close eye on the cake while it's baking!
-
- Remove cake. Flip the pan on a new sheet of parchment paper (dusted generously with cocoa powder to ensure that it does not stick) and peel off the one attached to the bake cake carefully- making sure you do not rip the corners off.

- Spread an even, but thin layer of cream on top of the whole sheet cake. Don't add too much cream towards the edges or it may ooze out and look messy. Also, doing so might create pressure when rolling the cake, causing it to crack. - - 13. Slowly roll the cake using the parchment paper to help. Fold about 1 inch of the at the start and roll while peeling the paper behind. While doing this, make sure you keep your roll cake nice and tight. - Roll the cake by lifting the parchment paper vertically

- Refrigerate the cake for 3-5 hours (preferably overnight) so that the cream can set and that the cake itself will have a chance to retain its rigid rolled shape. - And Nutella in a microwave just a few seconds and spread evenly top of the log & decorate with your own choice.
-
- To serve, use a serrated knife to trim off the edge pieces. To cut the slices cleanly, take a cup of warm water and a clean cloth/paper kitchen towel, and wipe after each consequent slice. - - While rolling the cake, if you are struggling, you may find using a rolling at the back of the cake helps. This means that you can roll while gently tightening the cake for a tight roll. - - Enjoy! With tea or coffee βπ° π
- #Tip - - Like with all recipes, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature so that they combine well. (e.g the eggs won't separate with the butter and the batter won't split.)
