How to Make Brazo De Gitano Rolled Sponge Cake Spain

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10 inch baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and thick ribbons form (about 5-7 minutes using a stand mixer or vigorously by hand).
  3. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and almond extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Immediately dust the cake with powdered sugar. While still warm, carefully flip the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  7. Starting from the short side, gently roll the cake up with the towel. Let cool completely.
  8. Unroll the cake and spread evenly with your desired filling (see suggestions below).
  9. Reroll the cake tightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  10. Serve and enjoy! Pair with fresh berries, whipped cream, or ice cream for an extra special treat.
