Roll Cake Recipe

Bolo de Rolo is a typical specialty of the Northeast. Irresistible with a good cup of coffee!

Dough Ingredients

• 4 and ¼ cups (tea) of sifted wheat flour
• 2 and ¾ cups (tea) of sugar
• 2 and ½ cups (tea) butter
• 15 eggs

Filling Ingredients

• 500 grams of strawberry jam

Utensils

• 8 sheets of baking paper measuring 35 x 25 cm

Preparation Mode

1. Distribute the sheets of baking paper on the table and grease them with butter.
2. Preheat the oven to 220ºC.
3. In a mixer, beat the eggs, butter and sugar.
4. Mix the wheat flour until you get a smooth, easy-to-spread dough.
5. On a rectangular baking tray, larger than the sheets, facing down, place a sheet of baking paper.
6. Using a spatula, spread a very thin layer of batter.
7. Bake for 3 minutes or until it no longer sticks when touched.
8. Place the dough while still hot on a cotton cloth sprinkled with sugar.
9. Spread a thin layer of jam over the dough and roll it up like a tight jelly roll.
10. Repeat the process until you bake 8 doughs, fill them while still hot and roll them over the other rolls until you form a thick roll.

Mom Tips

You can replace the jelly with melted guava paste, a traditional and typical filling in the Northeast.

When serving, sprinkle with sugar and cut into very thin slices.

Serve with slices of black cheese.
