Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (160Β°C fan)/350Β°F. Line a large Swiss roll tin (approximately 33x23 cm) with parchment paper.
In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts, cornflour, and white vinegar gently with a spatula to avoid deflating the mixture.
Spread the meringue evenly into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the meringue is lightly golden and crisp on top.
Remove the meringue from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, invert it onto a clean sheet of parchment paper that has been lightly sprinkled with icing sugar, peeling off the original parchment carefully.
Whip the double cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the meringue, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges.
Scatter the raspberries evenly over the whipped cream.
Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll up the meringue from one of the short ends to create a roulade. Transfer to a serving plate, seam-side down.
Dust the roulade with a light layer of icing sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
