Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Granulated sugar

1 cup

Powdered sugar

for dusting

Guava paste

1 cup, softened

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons, melted

Milk

1/2 cup

Eggs

4, large

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a jelly roll pan (15 x 10 inches) or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and granulated sugar until evenly combined and free of lumps.
3. Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Mix using a hand mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and homogenous, ensuring no dry ingredients remain.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a uniform layer.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when lightly touched in the center.
6. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
7. Carefully peel off the parchment paper from the cake's surface, taking care not to tear it.
8. Spread the softened guava paste evenly over the entire surface of the cake, ensuring every corner is covered with the sweet tropical flavor.
9. Starting from one end, gently roll the cake tightly using the towel to assist you. Roll it up like a log, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.
10. Transfer the rolled cake to a serving platter. Dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
11. Slice into rounds to reveal the stunning spiral of cake and guava filling. Serve and enjoy this delightful Brazilian treat!
