Hazelnut Roll


Here is just a tiny glimpse of what you will see in our home on Christmas Eve.
The Hazelnut Roll has been a favorite in our home for many years.
It came from a long time acquaintance who could not eat flour.
So she shared this dessert with us and it was voted a keeper in our home.
It does take some time and patience, therefore when I set out do this task,
I make sure I have a morning free and I always make two rolls.
Do not try to baby sit in between....
Do not double the recipe.
I make them individually.
Take it straight out of the freezer and serve it.


Hazel Nut Roll
  • 1 1/4C. ground hazelnuts
  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 C sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. almond extract
  • 1 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 11/2 C Whip Cream
  • 1/4 C. sifted icing sugar
  • Purchased chocolate hazelnut spread.
Method
  1. Grease 15x10 cookie sheet.  Line with parchment paper and grease again.
  2. Heat oven to 350'
  3. Using a mixer, beat sugar and egg yolks on high speed for 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in extracts. Beat one more minute.
  5. In separate bowl add ground hazelnuts, baking powder, and salt - mix well with fork.
  6. Combine hazelnut mixture with sugar mixture.  Beat for 2 more minutes.
  7. Beat egg whites till stiff, but not dry.
  8. Fold egg whites into the cake batter by hand. 
  9. Spread batter in prepared pan.  Bake for 20 -25 minutes.
  10. Flip cake onto damp cold tea towel, sprinkled with icing sugar, to prevent the cake from sticking.
  11. Remove the parchment paper.
  12. Roll the cake up in the towel; let cool for 15-30 minutes.
  13. Unroll and trim off crusty edges if necessary.
  14. Spread with a layer of chocolate hazelnut spread. I use Nutella. 
  15. Then add a layer of whipped cream. I add a stabilizer to the whipped cream. It should be stiffly whipped, otherwise it is too difficult to roll up.
  16. Roll up the cake once more and garnish  with additional cream and hazelnuts.
  17. Freeze the hazelnut roll on a cookie sheet for several hours until hard; then wrap with plastic wrap and seal it in a plastic bag. .
Have fun and enjoy the treat!
If you can't figure it out, stop by and I will serve you a piece with freshly roasted coffee.
