Preparation
Making the Batter
Preheat Oven & Prepare Sheet
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Cream Butter & Sugar
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add Yolks & Vanilla
Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Preparing the Egg Whites
Beat Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold Egg Whites
Gently fold the egg whites into the butter mixture.
Add Flour
Gradually add the sifted flour, folding gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Important: Do not overmix once the flour is added to preserve the cake's light texture. Pro Tip: Use a whisk to gently incorporate the whites and flour for a seamless texture.
Cooking Process
Baking the Sponge
Pour a thin layer of batter onto the prepared sheet, spreading evenly. Bake for about 7-10 minutes until lightly golden.
Preparing the Guava Paste
In a saucepan, melt the guava paste with water over low heat until spreadable.
Rolling the Cake
Spread a thin layer of guava paste on the baked sponge, then gently roll starting from one short edge.
