To celebrate it one of the most popular dessert, at least here in Catalonia. The rolled chocolate sponge cake - “brazo de gitano” (lit. “gypsy’s arm”)
For the sponge cake:
- Flour 100g
- sugar 100 gr.
- 3 eggs
- Baking powder 1/2 spoon
For Chocolate suffed:
- whipped milk cream 300 ml
- Melted chocolate 125 gr.
- 2 gelatine sheets
Icing sugar and music

Separamos las yemas de las claras.
Beat the egg white until stiff

Mix the yolk with the sugar.

Add flour and baking powder sfited

Add egg white

To cook that I use silicone slice it’s easier.
Flour the slice and extend the mixture


Bake it 10 minuter 150 degrees. NO MORE. It is very important it doesn’t brown.
Like that.

You will need another silicone slice.
dust the second slice with icing sugar. Like that.

Turn over the cake on the second slice. Like that.

With a bit of luck it looks like that.

Roll the second slice with the bake.
Leave it aside until it would be cold.

It is time to prepare the stuffed. While I was cooking that I was also cooking the family dinner and I forgot taking photos of this stage
Dissolve the gelatin on a bit of hot water.
Whip the ilk cream (very cold, it’s very important).
Add the chocolate melted
Mix like that

Extend the stuffed over the cake COLD. Like that.

Roll the cake. Like that.


sprinkle icing sugar and…

Enjoy your meal

The Gypsy’s Arm looks so good ~ the chocolate whipped cream must be delicious. If I don’t have silicone sheets, can I just bake it on a cookie tray? Yummmmmm …
