Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 390F.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and then add to the egg whites very slowly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sugar over the egg mixture, one tablespoon at a time while the mixer is still on.
Step 5
Lower the mixer’s speed to low and sprinkle the flour, one tablespoon at a time, until everything is well combined.
Step 6
Pour the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and non-stick spray.
Step 7
Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until the top of the cake roll is light golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and place it, warm as it is, top down on a kitchen towel. Make sure the parchment paper is facing up. Roll it lightly.
Step 9
Once the cake roll has cooled down completely, unroll it and spread some dulce de leche. Add the crushed meringues at this stage.
Step 10
Roll the cake roll tightly, using the parchment paper as help.
Step 11
Pop into the fridge for one hour before cutting it.
