Preparation
For the cake:
- We’ll start by heating a pan over medium heat and adding water and milk. Add a pinch of salt and another of sugar to enhance the flavor. Then add the butter and let it melt completely.
- We then sift the flour over the previous mixture and mix vigorously to avoid the formation of lumps. We continue to heat the mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes, until we obtain a smooth and homogeneous consistency.
- We pour the dough into a bowl and put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes, until it cools.
- After this time we add the eggs, one by one, and mix them with the dough until we obtain an elastic consistency. We can use a spatula to carry out this task, taking care to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- We then preheat the oven to 200°C and pour the mixture onto a previously greased mould. We spread it carefully using a spatula, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Bake the rolled cake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and completely cooked inside. Once ready we remove it from the oven and let it cool.
For the cream:
- In a separate container, beat the eggs together with the sugar and corn starch until you obtain a smooth mixture.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk together with the vanilla over medium heat until it begins to thicken. Add the egg and sugar mixture and continue cooking until the cream has acquired a thick and smooth consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the butter. Stir until the butter melts completely and the cream is well incorporated.
- We evenly distribute the cream on the cooled cake and carefully roll it up, forming a roll.
- We put the rolled cake in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, so that it acquires consistency.
- Finally we decorate the cake with icing sugar and you’re done! Our delicious rolled cake is ready to enjoy with your family.
