Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar (200 g)

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dulce de leche
- 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Step-by-Step Instructions
👨🍳 Preparation Instructions
1. Baking the Cake Base:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the whisk attachment (butterfly) into the Thermomix and add the eggs and sugar.
- Set it for 5 minutes at 98°F (37°C) on speed 3.5. Once finished, blend for another 5 minutes on speed 3.5, but this time without heat. You’ll create a light, airy mixture.
- Add the flour and salt. Mix for 15 seconds on speed 2 until just combined.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to form a rectangle.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until the surface is lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cake should remain flexible!
2. Whipping the Cream:
- Clean the Thermomix bowl and insert the whisk attachment again. Pour in the chilled heavy cream.
- Whip the cream by setting it to speed 3, without a time limit. Keep an eye on it and stop once it reaches the desired texture (don’t whip too long, or it will turn to butter!).
3. Assembling the Cake:
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Spread the dulce de leche evenly over the surface with a spatula.
- Next, layer the whipped cream over the dulce de leche, ensuring you don’t reach the edges for easier rolling.
4. Rolling and Decorating:
- Carefully start rolling the cake from one of the shorter ends, creating the traditional rolled cake. Go slow to prevent it from breaking.
- Place the rolled cake on a serving platter with the seam side down. Dust with powdered sugar for decoration. Feel free to get creative with chocolate shavings, sliced almonds, or fresh fruits on top! 🎉
5. Chilling and Serving:
- Refrigerate the rolled cake for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and make it easier to slice.
- Cut into rounds to serve and prepare for the applause from your guests. 👏
💡 Additional Tips for Success
- Perfect Cake: If the cake sticks while you roll it, try using a slightly damp spatula to help ease it off.
- Homemade Dulce de Leche: If you have the time, consider making your own by simmering a can of sweetened condensed milk for about 2 hours, ensuring it’s always covered in water!
- Custom Flavors: Add a splash of your favorite liquor (like Baileys or rum) to the dulce de leche for a more sophisticated kick!
- Freezing: This rolled cake freezes beautifully! Wrap it in plastic wrap and thaw in the fridge a few hours before serving.
Now that you have this simple and delightful Rolled Dulce de Leche Cake recipe, dive into the joys of baking and create sweet memories with your loved ones. Happy cooking! 🍰❤️
