To begin making the roll, we will be using a stand mixer. Start with six large egg whites, and if your eggs aren't particularly large, you can add an extra egg. Beat the egg whites on high speed for about three minutes until stiff.
Next, slowly add the six egg yolks and mix for another three minutes. Then, incorporate half a cup of sugar—either crystal or refined. Continue beating at maximum speed for five more minutes until achieving a light and fluffy texture.
After mixing, transfer the batter into a large bowl. Next, add half a cup of flour and half a teaspoon of baking powder. Mix gently until the flour is no longer visible.
Once your batter is ready, it’s time to prepare the baking pan. Generously grease a large rectangular baking dish (about 27.5 cm by 40 cm) with butter or margarine, then sprinkle with flour. Pour in the cake batter and smooth it out.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven until lightly golden. Once it’s baked, allow it to cool for about five minutes. As it cools, prepare the filling.
Filling the Sweet Roll
For the delicious filling, use a generous amount of dulce de leche—about one and a half cans. If you’re not sure how to make it, I have a tutorial on how to cook condensed milk in a pressure cooker. Once the cake is cool, spread the dulce de leche evenly across the top.
Next, roll the cake up gently with the help of parchment paper, ensuring a nice tight roll. Make sure the seam is well-sealed.
Finishing Touches
After rolling, leave the cake to cool completely. Once it’s cooled, it’s time to trim the ends to create a clean look. The ends of the roll are always a treat, so don’t hesitate to indulge!
Transfer the roll to a serving plate and spread more dulce de leche on top. To make it extra special, sprinkle with shredded coconut for a beautiful finish.
The Moment of Truth
Now it's time for the best part—cutting into your creation! The texture is soft, and the flavor is delightful. Each bite is a harmonious blend of fluffy cake and luscious dulce de leche.
If you haven't tried making a sweet rolled cake yet, there's no reason to hesitate. This treat is perfect for everyday desserts, special occasions, or simply when you're craving something sweet.
Conclusion
Remember, who wouldn’t smile at the sight of a well-made, delicious-looking cake? I encourage you to try this easy recipe and wow your family and friends with this delightful dessert. With every bite, they will understand why this dulce de leche rolled cake holds a special place in my heart. So why wait? Head to your kitchen and make this sugary delight today! Enjoy!
