- Sift the flour, cornflour, cocoa and baking powder over it and gently fold in with the beaten egg whites.
- Spread the batter evenly on the tray and bake for about 10 minutes.
- Turn out onto a tea towel sprinkled with sugar, peel off the paper and roll up straight away with the towel. Let it cool.
- Whip the cream with the cream stabiliser until stiff. Unroll the sponge, spread with jam and cream and roll up again.
- Melt the chocolate (Adults) and pour it over the roll. Draw grooves like tree bark with a fork and sprinkle with hazelnuts.

DÖs Tipp: If the sponge cracks when rolling, it was baked too long. The cracks disappear under the bark.
