Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F. Line a 12x9 inch baking tray with parchment paper.
Whip egg whites until foamy then gradually add sugar in a slow stream, beating for 8-10 mins, until stiff, white and glossy. Fold in vanilla, vinegar and cocoa mixture. Transfer to prepared tray and bake for 8 mins. Rotate and bake for another 8-10 mins, until puffed and spongy to the touch. Let cool for 20 mins.
Meanwhile, whip cream to soft peaks. Add coffee, powdered sugar and 1 tbsp water. Whisk to medium peaks. Set aside.
Carefully flip sponge cake out onto a sheet of parchment paper. Discard used parchment paper. Spread coffee cream over cake, leaving a 1 inch border. Sprinkle with hazelnuts then roll cake up from the long side. Wrap in foil and freeze for 6 hours, to overnight.
Remove roulade from freezer about 15 mins before serving. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with melted chocolate, decorate with Easter eggs and dust with powdered sugar.
