12 Days of Christmas - Swiss Roll/Brazo Gitano (Day 10)
Ingredients:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of sugar
5 eggs, separated
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of milk
Filling:
1 can of condensed milk
2-3 tbsp of lemon
Optional: raisins
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F, and prepare a tray with parchment paper.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until it’s light in color.
Add baking powder to the flour. Then add in the milk and flour mixture in the egg yolk mixture until combined, alternating 1/2 cup each (ex: add 1/2 cup milk then flourl, repeat until done).
Fold in the egg whites until it’s combined.
Pour batter over tray with parchment paper. Spread batter evenly over tray.
Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until lightly golden on top and a inserted toothpick comes out clean.
While cake is in the oven, prepare the filling by combining the condensed milk with lemon until it becomes a little bit thicker. Add raisins if you’d like (we added a couple handful but you can add how many you’d like!).
Prepare another sheet of parchment paper on a table and dust powdered sugar throughout.
Slowly flip the cake onto the prepared parchment paper.
Dust more powdered sugar throughout the cake.
Roll the cake (similar to how you would with cinnamon rolls) and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Unroll the cake then spread the filling throughout.
Roll the cake again, making sure not to roll the parchment paper with the cake!
Transfer roll to a plate, and dust the top with more powdered sugar.
Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour.
Enjoy!
