Chocolate And Hazelnut Roulade With Toasted Hazelnut And Cinnamon Crumble
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper with vegetable oil spread underneath to prevent slipping

  2. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment fitted, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla bean paste for the roulade sponge together until pale, thick and a ribbon consistency

  3. Add in the melted butter and whisk until combined. In a separate bowl sift together the Doves Farm oat flour, xanthan gum and baking powder

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until no clumps remain. Transfer the mix to the lined baking tray, smooth it out using a palette knife and clean the edges with your finger. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven

  5. Once you remove the sponge from the oven, wrap it tightly in a large sheet of aluminium foil – avoiding touching the surface of the sponge to reduce the chance of sticking. Allow it to cool to room temperature

  6. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the soft, unsalted butter until smooth, then add in the remaining hazelnut buttercream ingredients. Add a couple of tablespoons of milk and mix until the buttercream is soft enough to spread but firm enough that it won’t collapse as you roll up the sponge

  7. Dust a sheet of parchment that's bigger than the roulade all over with icing sugar. Once the roulade is at room temperature, flip the sponge onto the sugar-coated parchment. Remove the layer of parchment paper stuck to the cake

  8. Spread a 1 cm layer of the buttercream over the sponge. Rotate the sponge so the short edge is closest to you then, using icing sugar-dusted parchment paper, roll up the sponge

  9. Tuck the parchment paper under itself to support the roll and trim off the excess. Place the roulade in the fridge to chill for 2 hours

  10. Prepare the toasted hazelnut and cinnamon crumble by pulsing together all the ingredients in a food processor until they form a crumb

  11. To make the ganache glaze, place the dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl

  12. Warm the double cream over a medium heat until it just begins to simmer

  13. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir together until smooth and glossy

  14. Cool the ganache in the fridge, stirring occasionally, until the glaze is viscous enough to coat the cake

  15. Trim both the edges off the roulade to make it neater, then place the chilled roulade onto a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the ganache glaze over the chilled roll, making sure to fully cover the cake

  16. Sprinkle over the hazelnut crumb, then place in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes

  17. Use a hot knife to slice and serve
