The gypsy arm is a very typical Spanish dessert that consists of a thin sponge cake, which is rolled on itself, with some filling inside such as cream, pastry cream or chocolate. There are thousands of different recipes for this dessert.
I’m going to show one of my mother’s who, while she was at my house the other day, taught me how to make her version. And now, I’m going to share her recipe with you. She calls this gypsy arm, the arm of the “4”. Because she carries four amounts of ingredients of each kind.
Preparation time: 59 minutes
For 6 Person.
Ingredients:
5 eggs
5 tablespoons of flour
250ml of whipping cream (heavy cream for whipping)
5 tablespoons of sugar
Preparation:
We separate the whites from the yolks using the egg shell itself. We put the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
We beat the yolks and then add a tablespoon of sugar. We beat again and integrate the sugar with the yolks until they are integrated. We repeat this step until we have added the 5 tablespoons.
We continue with the preparation of our gypsy arm. We do the same with the flour. Add a tablespoon, mix and repeat the process until you have added 5 tablespoons.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. To do this, we can beat it with a whisk or do it by hand with the same whisk or a fork. We pour this over the egg, sugar and flour mixture and integrate it well using enveloping movements.
Once we have mixed all the ingredients, we place the mixture on baking paper, which we will have placed on a baking tray. We make sure that the entire mixture is evenly placed on the paper and we put everything in the oven, previously heated to 180ºC, for about 15 minutes. Let the cake cook and take color
While the gypsy arm cake is cooking, we whip the cream. To do this, it is better that it is very cold. We assemble it by beating it with a whisk or a fork (like the snow point of the egg)
When the cake is cooked, we remove it from the oven and leave it for 5 minutes to cool. We put a layer about 2cm thick on it, leaving another 2 or 3 cm of the walls unfilled. Finally, we roll it with the same baking paper, trapping the cream inside. Once rolled, we cut the ends so that it doesn’t look “ugly” and it’s ready.
With 4 ingredients, you will have this delicious gypsy arm. It is a bit laborious but very easy to do. I hope you prepare it and that you like it!
