# Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until everything's pale and creamy. Gently mix in the sifted flour and baking powder.

Whip the egg whites with the pinch of salt until you see stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whites into the yolk and flour mixture.

Spread the batter on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake it for about 10-12 minutes until the sponge has light golden edges.

Flip the warm sponge onto a damp, clean towel. Peel away the parchment paper, roll the sponge up with the towel, and leave it to cool down.

Once cooled, unroll the sponge carefully. Coat the surface with a generous layer of Nutella, then roll it back up tightly.

Transfer the roll to a serving plate. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top or scatter crushed hazelnuts for decoration. Chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes, then cut into slices to serve.
# Notes:

The sponge must be rolled while still warm to avoid cracking later.
