Roll cake with manjar or dulce de leche filling

Roll cake with manjar or dulce de leche filling :

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 500g Manjar or Dulce de Leche
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, add 4 egg whites and beat for 2 minutes. Then add sugar and continue beating for another 2 minutes until you achieve stiff peaks to form a meringue.
2. Add the egg yolks to the meringue and beat for 2 minutes. Then add the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch. Incorporate the dry ingredients using a spatula or silicone palette, folding gently from bottom to top until fully combined. Avoid beating or overmixing the batter.
3. Pour the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly to form a layer (about 25x40cm).
4. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Check for doneness with a wooden skewer – it should come out clean when inserted into the middle.
5. Remove from the oven, turn the cake onto another sheet of parchment paper, peel off the original parchment, trim any uneven edges with a knife, and roll the cake using the new parchment paper. Let it cool.
6. Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread the Manjar or Dulce de Leche over the entire surface. If the filling is too thick, you can heat it in the microwave for 1 minute to make it easier to spread.
7. Roll the cake with the filling, cover it with more Manjar and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top or simply dust it with powdered sugar and shredded coconut. Cut and serve.

Enjoy your delicious roll cake!
