Nutella roll
Description
It goes wonderfully with tea and coffee. Before you start, take the Nutella out of the refrigerator so it spreads more easily on the sponge cake. If you like, you can sprinkle the spread with chopped hazelnuts or add berries. The top can be decorated not only with powdered sugar but also with chocolate, Nutella, or cream.
