When I ask my mother for a recipe, she always responds "What, you want to make a foo? Are you crazy? Do you know how much work that is? Here, let me give you the recipe for a bar, it's much simpler." Then after a great deal of coaxing I convince her to give me the foo recipe anyway, and it never fails to be substantially easier than I had been led to believe.
Well, this rolada was no exception. Having just made the second (production) version, I've come to the conclusion that it's actually not a very hard cake to make at all, it just got an unnecessarily bad reputation. In fact it's kinda fun to make, and fairly straightforward.
And very good. :9
Rolada 2.0, now with certain of the bugs fixed, is presently beginning its two-day refrigeration. Woohoo!
