Ferrero Rocher & Nutella Cake Roll

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Line a jelly roll pan with wax paper, and spray liberally with non stick spray.
3. Pour cake batter into the pan, and spread flat with an offset spatula.
4. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cake springs back after being touched.
5. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a piece of parchment paper. Gently roll the cake up, with the parchment paper, starting at one end, and set aside to cool.
6. When cooled, unroll cake and spread on Nutella buttercream. Place a line of Ferraro Rochers at the start of the roll, and re-roll the cake around the chocolates.
7. Place cake roll onto a long rectangular cake.
8. Top cake roll with additional Ferraro Rochers (whole and halved), ganaches, and chopped nuts.
9. Slice and serve so each piece has a Ferrero from the center of the roll.
10. Cake can be kept in the fridge and is best consumed within 2-3 days.
