• To this, add oil and vanilla essence (to get rid of egg flavor). Mix well with a spoon.
• Heat a nonstick frying pan (a medium sized) and make the flame medium low. Grease the pan well with oil. 
• Pour in the prepared batter, cover with an aluminium foil and then cook on a low flame for 5 -6 minutes or until the top becomes dry. Do not cook for long.
• Transfer it to a cling film. Wrap it and then gently roll it. Let it cool completely. Keep refrigerated for 15 minutes.
• When done, take it out, remove the cling film and cut off the ends diagonally.
• Spread nutella / hazelnut spread over it.
• Then roll up the cake tightly with care. Wrap in a cling film and cool them in the fridge to set. 
• Cut both the ends, slice and serve.
• For a best slice, let it cool for 1 hour or more. So that you can cut them perfectly. As i couldn't wait for long, i sliced them off after 15 minutes. 

CAKE FLOUR RECIPE

You can substitute the store bought cake flour with this simple two ingredients. 

• Take one leveled cup (250 ml) of All purpose flour. From this, remove two tablespoons of all purpose flour. And then add two tablespoons of cornflour / cornstarch back in instead of the removed All purpose flour. So we get one cup of CAKE FLOUR.

one cup of cake flour  = one cup of All purpose flour - two tablespoons of All purpose flour + 2 tablespoons of cornflour.

• Then sift them together to distribute the cornflour well before using in into the cake batter.
• Cornstarch / cornflour will inhibit the formation of gluten when added to all purpose flour. This gives the structure and sponginess to your cake.

one leveled cup of Maida / All purpose flour

Remove 2 tbsp of Maida / All purpose flour from this cup

Add 2 tbsp of cornflour back instead of the removed Maida / All purpose flour

Now here is the one leveled cup of unsifted Cake Flour

Sift them well
