Budapestrulle Recipe
Budapestrulle is a very light cake of Swedish cuisine, made by spreading whipped cream on top of a hazelnut sponge and wrapping various fruits in it. Rulle means roll, meaning the name of the cake is Budapest roll.
Budapestrulle was found by Swedish Chef Ingvar Strid and 1st of May is celebrated as the day of budapestrulle. The most important feature of the recipe is that it is gluten-free. It can be interpreted in different ways and made with a wide variety of fruits, but the most commonly used fruits are tangerines raspberries, peaches and apricots. Fruits can be chosen according to the season. When using tangerines, the outer shell of the tangerine is peeled as well as the thin membrane-shaped shell inside.
The biggest difference with roll cake is that it is made with ground hazelnuts instead of flour and is gluten-free. Another difference is that the batter is squeezed in a strip shape with a piping bag instead of spreading it in a flat layer on the tray. This squeezing process in the form of a strip prevents the sponge from breaking at unwanted places while wrapping. Since the sponge cake made with hazelnuts, it is not as flexible as the sponge cake made with flour, it is more prone to breaking. If it is not piped as a strip, it can break uncontrollably.
As soon as you make the cake, you can serve it immediately or rest in the fridge. You can serve it the next day, its consistency doesn't change when it waits.
