Ingredients

*For the sponge:*
- 4 eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 150 g flour
- 3 tablespoons of Nesquik (or cocoa, if you prefer)

*For the cream:*
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of sugar
- 100 g butter
- 150 g milk powder
- 50 g coconut (for decoration)

Step by step: Preparing the roll

1. Preparing the sponge
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, crack the 4 eggs and add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it doubles in volume and becomes light in color. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy sponge.

2. Incorporating the dry ingredients
Sift the flour and Nesquik (or cocoa) into a separate bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture into the egg mixture, gently folding from the bottom up with a spatula to keep the airiness. This technique is crucial for obtaining a light and airy sponge.

3. Baking the sponge
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the mixture evenly into the tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. The sponge is ready when it is firm to the touch and has a slight golden hue.

4. Inverting the sponge
Once the sponge is baked, remove it from the oven and carefully invert it onto a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with sugar. This will prevent sticking and add a touch of sweetness. Turn the sponge upside down and remove the parchment paper.

5. Rolling the sponge
Begin to roll the sponge using the parchment paper, being careful not to tear it. Do this while the sponge is still warm, as it will roll more easily. Allow it to cool completely in this shape.

Preparing the cream

6. Boiling the syrup
In a saucepan, add the cup of water and the cup of sugar. Boil the mixture over medium heat until it thickens into a syrup. This will provide a sweet taste and a glossy layer to the cream.

7. Adding the butter
Once the syrup is ready, remove it from heat and add the butter cut into cubes. Mix well until the butter completely melts and integrates into the syrup.

8. Incorporating the milk powder
Gradually add the milk powder, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. You will achieve a dense and smooth cream. If you wish for an extra flavor, you can add vanilla or rum essence.

9. Assembling the roll
After the sponge has completely cooled, carefully unroll it. Spread the cream evenly over the entire surface of the sponge. Roll it up again, but without the parchment paper this time, forming a tight roll.

10. Decorating and cooling
Roll the log in coconut, giving it an attractive appearance and a delicious flavor. Place the roll on a platter and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to firm up and blend the flavors.

Serving suggestions
The milk powder cream roll is perfect to be served as an elegant dessert after dinner or as a sweet snack throughout the day. You can slice it thinly and present it on a platter decorated with fresh fruits or a chocolate sauce. If you like, you can accompany it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a flavored coffee.

Frequently asked questions
1. What can I use instead of milk powder?
If you don't have milk powder on hand, you can use mascarpone or cream cheese to achieve a similar texture, although the taste will be slightly different.

2. How can I store the roll?
The roll stores well in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for 3-4 days. It is possible that as it sits, the cream may become denser, but the taste will remain delicious.

3. Can I add fruits to the cream?
Absolutely! Fruits like bananas, strawberries, or peaches can be added to the cream to provide a fresh note and a contrast of textures.

4. Is it possible to make the roll gluten-free?
Yes! You can replace wheat flour with a gluten-free alternative, such as almond flour or rice flour.
