Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 5 eggs (at room temperature)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 teaspoons caster sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dulce de Leche
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated coconut
Equipment
- Stand mixer
- 1 metal skewer
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Set aside.
- Separate the eggs.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites by gradually adding the sugar.
- Add the vanilla and whisk until egg whites are stiff.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the egg yolks one by one without breaking the whites.
- Then fold the mixture of flour, cornstarch and baking powder in the same way, as well as the vegetable oil.
- Pour the mixture into a 17 x 13 inch (40 x 30 cm) rectangular jelly roll pan (Swiss roll tin) lined with parchment paper and well buttered.
- Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 12 minutes or until the cake is slightly brown.
- While baking the cake, spread a parchment paper on the work surface and sprinkle with a tablespoon of icing sugar.
- Unmold the biscuit by turning it over on the parchment paper sprinkled with icing sugar.
- Gently remove the parchment paper.
- While the cake is still hot, turn it over to a board.
- Spread the dulce de leche evenly over its entire surface, and roll it on itself. If the dulce de leche is too firm, heat a few seconds in the microwave and mix well before spreading it.
- Place the rolled cake on a serving plate with the seam underneath.
- Mix the remaining icing sugar and coconut and sprinkle the rolled cake with this mixture.
- Heat the metal skewer with a flame or on the stove and use it to mark the top of the cake with square grill marks.
