-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Spray a jelly roll or rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
-
Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
-
Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla.
-
Beat in the flour mixture on low speed in thirds, alternating with melted butter, until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 8 to 9 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
-
Flip the cake upside down onto a new sheet of parchment paper. Remove the used parchment paper gently.
-
Roll the cake into a tube, starting at one end of the paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
-
To make the filling, whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl with an electric mixer until medium peaks form.
-
Mix in the chocolate-hazelnut spread until well combined.
-
Unroll the cake and spread the filling evenly over it.
-
Roll the cake back up, keeping in mind that it may crack.
-
Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
