Bolo de Rolo Vegano

Bolo de Rolo Vegano is a delightful Brazilian rolled cake made with a thin layer of rich, fruity filling, typically guava, wrapped in a moist sponge. This vegan version captures the essence of the traditional recipe while being completely plant-based and delicious.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100g
• Sugar - 100g
• Almond milk - 120ml
• Vegetable oil - 30ml
• Baking powder - 1 tsp
• Guava paste - 100g
• Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray (approximately 30x40 cm) with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined and smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. While the cake is baking, soften the guava paste in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes spreadable.
8. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with a little sugar.
9. Spread the softened guava paste evenly over the warm cake, leaving a small margin at the edges.
10. Using the towel, carefully roll the cake tightly from one end to the other, creating a spiral. Let it cool completely in the roll.
11. Once cooled, slice into pieces and serve.
