Guava Cake
Roll - Brazo de Gitano
Servings: 8 to10
Ingredients:
1 cup
flour
1 cup
sugar
1
teaspoon baking powder
5
teaspoons water
¼
teaspoon salt
1
teaspoon vanilla
3 or 4
eggs
1
31-ounce can of guava cream
Directions
• Preheat
the oven to 375°.
• Butter a
15½ inch by 10½ inch pan. Line the pan with buttered wax paper.
• Sift
flour, baking soda and salt together.
• In a
separate bowl, beat the eggs for 10 minutes. Sift in the sugar and mix in
water and vanilla. Sift in the dry ingredients and incorporate until smooth.
• Pour into
the prepared pan and bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and
before the cake cools run a thin knife along the edge of the pan to loosen
the cake. Prepare a damp cloth and turn the cake on to the cloth. With the
help of the cloth, roll the cake up
from its
long side. Wrap the rolled cake in the damp cloth and let cool.
• When the
cake has cooled, unroll and spread with the guava cream. Roll the cake up
again and dust with confectioner's sugar or, in honor of the favorite
combination of guava and cream cheese, decorate with cream cheese frosting.
