Snowy Peanut Swiss Roll / Roulade

Wanted to make Nutella Swiss Roll, but half way through the baking couldn't find my Nutella :( luckily the chopped peanut came to my rescue.

I use Chiffon cake recipe for the cake instead of sponge cake because i like the airiness of chiffon cake.
As you can see from the photo the cake layer is very thin compare to the normal Swiss roll because i don't have a proper square baking pan ^_^, hence, i have to use a big wide tray to bake instead. If you have the tray it will look thinker and nicer..
