4 whole Eggs

2 teaspoons Vanilla, Divided
3/4 cups Flour

Powdered Sugar, For Dusting On Towel And Over Cake Roll

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Prepare a 10x13 inch bar pan: grease pan, line with parchment or wax paper, and grease the paper as well.
2
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add sugar and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla. Again beat until frothy.
3
In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Slowly mix into the egg mixture. Mix until smooth.
4
Pour batter into the bar pan and bake 13-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
While cake is baking, heavily dust a layer of powdered sugar onto a linen kitchen towel. When cake is done baking, turn cake out onto the towel. Roll the cake up, towel and all. Place on a cooling rack, and cool completely.
6
Filling: Beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Mix in remaining teaspoon of vanilla and 1 cup powdered sugar, and again beat until fluffy and smooth.
7
Unroll cake. Spread Nutella onto the cake, then spread the cream cheese mixture on top of that. Roll cake back up, minus the towel. Place the cake roll onto a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least an hour or two.
8
To serve, slice with a sharp knife, and give a final dusting of powdered sugar.

Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
