Guava roll cake is a thin sponge cake spread with guava paste, rolled into a spiral, and often dusted with sugar. A well-known Brazilian version is called rocambole de goiabada; related guava-filled rolls are found elsewhere in Latin America.
Bake a thin sponge for guava roll cake, then roll it while warm in parchment or a clean towel and let it cool. Unroll, spread with softened guava paste, roll it back up, and chill before slicing.
No. Guava paste, or goiabada, is usually a firm, sliceable fruit paste, while guava jam is softer and often more spreadable. The paste is commonly warmed with a little water before being spread in guava roll cake.
Guava roll cake usually cracks if the sponge cools before its first roll or is baked until too dry. Roll the sponge while it is still warm, using parchment or a towel, and let it cool in that shape.
Cut the guava paste into small pieces and warm it gently with a little water, stirring until spreadable. For guava roll cake, keep the filling thick enough to stay in place rather than turning it into a runny sauce.
Yes, guava jam can fill guava roll cake, but it is often looser and sweeter than guava paste. Spread a thin layer; if the jam is runny, briefly heat it to reduce some moisture before filling the sponge.
Use a thick, spreadable guava filling and apply a thin, even layer to guava roll cake, leaving a small border at the edges. Let the rolled cake cool fully before slicing so the filling can settle.
Guava roll cake is often served on its own with coffee or tea. For a less sweet contrast, add fresh fruit; a small spoonful of whipped cream also works well alongside the guava filling.
Keep guava roll cake covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent the sponge from drying out. Let slices sit briefly at room temperature before serving for a softer texture.
Yes, guava roll cake freezes well when wrapped tightly and sealed in a freezer-safe container. Thaw it gradually in the refrigerator before serving to help the sponge keep its texture.

Guava roll cake is a soft sponge cake spread with a thick layer of guava paste, then rolled into a spiral. It is closely associated with Brazilian baking, where the filling is known as goiabada: a dense, sweet preserve made from guava. The contrast between the airy cake and concentrated fruit gives each slice a pronounced sweetness and fruity aroma.
In Brazil it is enjoyed as a teatime or coffee-break treat, and it also works as a simple dessert after a meal. The cake is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with relatively little fibre, so a modest slice alongside unsweetened coffee or tea makes a balanced pairing. Fresh fruit on the side can add a lighter, fresher contrast.
