CAKE ROLL:
- 5 eggs, split
- 5 tbsp white sugar
- 5 tbsp self-rising flour, sifted
FILLING:
- Dulce de leche, to taste
- Meringue, to taste, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 ℃ (390 F).
- Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and then add to the egg whites very slowly.
- Sprinkle the sugar on the egg mix, one tablespoon at a time while the mixer is still on.
- Lower the mixer’s speed to low and sprinkle the flour, one tablespoon at a time, until everything is well combined.
- Pour the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and non-stick spray.
- Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until the top of the cake roll is light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and place it, warm as it is, top down on a kitchen towel. Make sure the parchment paper is facing up. Roll it lightly.
- Once the cake roll has cooled down completely, unroll it and spread some dulce de leche. Add the crushed meringues at this stage.
- Roll the cake roll tightly, using the parchment paper as help.
- Pop into the fridge for one hour before cutting it.
