Description

Brazo de Reina, or "Queen's Arm," is a beloved Latin American treat, a delectable roulade that presents a delightful spiral of sponge cake embracing a sweet filling. This version offers a unique twist on the classic, featuring a rich, caramel-like center reminiscent of dulce de leche. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that will captivate your senses.

The cake itself is a marvel of airy lightness, achieved through careful preparation. Eggs and sweetener are whipped to ethereal heights, creating a delicate base that perfectly complements the luscious filling. Almond flour and psyllium husk are gently incorporated, lending a subtle nutty flavor and satisfying chewiness to the cake.

The sponge is baked to a golden perfection, ready to embrace its sweet destiny. The heart of this brazo de reina lies in its decadent filling, a thick, intensely flavored caramel confection. Its deep amber hue hints at the complex flavors within, a symphony of caramelized sugar and creamy richness.

The filling is smooth and velvety, melting in your mouth with each bite and creating an unforgettable taste experience. The key to a truly exceptional brazo de reina lies in the details. Achieving the perfect airy texture in the sponge cake requires patience and precision.

Gently folding the dry ingredients into the whipped eggs ensures that the batter retains its lightness, resulting in a cake that is both tender and resilient. While a thinner caramel sauce can be used as an alternative in a pinch, combining it with whipped cream to achieve a thicker consistency is recommended for the best results. Though it may not replicate the original perfectly, the taste will still be divine.

Each element contributes to the overall harmony of the dessert, creating a symphony of flavor and texture that will leave you craving more. This brazo de reina is a celebration of simple ingredients transformed into something extraordinary, a testament to the magic of baking.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 340 Fahrenheit. Line a small rectangular baking dish or sheet ( 15x 20 cm) with parchment paper and grease it well. In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, psyllium husk, and salt. Set the bowl aside.
    2.
    Add your room temperature eggs to the bowl of your stand mixer. Attach your whisk attachment, and beat on high for 6-7 minutes, or until the eggs are pale and fluffy. Sprinkle the sweetener on top, add the vanilla extract, and continue to whisk for another 2 minutes.
    3.
    Remove the bowl from the stand mixer. Sprinkle the dry mix over the surface of the whipped eggs, and fold using a silicone spatula. Stop once the dry ingredients are incorporated, don overfold.
    4.
    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula, making sure you get it to the corners. Transfer the baking dish to the oven.
    5.
    Bake for 8-10 minutes. Keep checking after 8 minutes. The center should be just set, but not wet. Don overbake the sponge, otherwise, it will break when you roll it
    6.
    Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2 minutes. Prepare a clean kitchen towel and top it with a piece of parchment paper and grease it. Flip the sponge onto the parchment paper and gently roll the sponge along the long side, and let it cool completely. The towel should be rolled with the sponge cake, this will keep it moist from the inside.
    7.
    Once the sponge has cooled, unroll it and remove the top piece of parchment paper. Pour the Keto dulce de leche into the center of the cake. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
    8.
    Roll the cake by using the parchment paper. Pull the paper towards you as you push and shape the cake with your other hand. Slide a long metal spatula under the Keto cake, and gently transfer it to a serving platter or cutting board.
    9.
    Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set. When you 're ready to serve it, dust the surface with powdered sweetener. Slice the Keto brazo de reina into 10 pieces.
