A delicious and moist sponge cake wrapped tightly into a delicious swiss roll dessert with a smooth and creamy chocolate Nutella spread filling.
Homemade Nutella Swiss Roll Recipe
With five grandkids under the age of fourteen, Nutella chocolate spread has been a staple ingredient in our mom’s house for well, 14 years. And as a result, nutella is used along side many of our most popular recipes, such as our classic crepes (or palecinke as we call them) and simple 3-ingredient french toast.

And if a chocolate filling is not for you, simply change up the recipe by substituting the chocolate spread with sweet plum or peach jam. The steps for making the sponge cake are the same regardless of the filling. The secret to a rolled sponge cake that is free of cracks and breaks is to pre-roll the cake just after is comes out of the oven. This will help to loosen the cake keeping it in tact once the filling is added afterwards.
