Tasty Apprentice
Recipes that blend various flavors and textures to create a delectable dessert experience have always captivated me. Looking through my grandmother's old cookbook this weekend, I came upon a recipe for Swedish Budapestrulle, or Budapest Roll Cake. My taste senses were buzzing with excitement from the hazelnut meringue loaded with whipped cream, juicy clementines, and dark chocolate! I had to share my handmade dessert masterpiece with other dessert lovers as soon as I tried it. 
Ingredients
Cake
• 6 Egg Whites
• Pinch Kosher Salt
• 325 g White Sugar
• 30 g Cornstarch
• 1 tsp White Wine Vinegar
• 150 g Toasted Hazelnuts finely chopped
Filling
• 300 ml Whipping Cream
• 1 tsp Icing Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 300 g Canned Mandarin Oranges
Topping
• 50 g Dark Chocolate melted
• 25 g Toasted Chopped Hazelnuts
• 6 Egg Whites
• Pinch Kosher Salt
• 325 g White Sugar
• 30 g Cornstarch
• 1 tsp White Wine Vinegar
• 150 g Toasted Hazelnuts finely chopped
Filling
• 300 ml Whipping Cream
• 1 tsp Icing Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 300 g Canned Mandarin Oranges
Topping
• 50 g Dark Chocolate melted
• 25 g Toasted Chopped Hazelnuts
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Whip the egg whites with salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment until light and fluffy. Start adding the sugar, bit by bit. Keeping whisking until you reach stiff peak. Add the cornstarch and white wine vinegar and whisk again.
3. Fold in the roughly ground hazelnuts. Fill a piping bag with meringue mixture. Pipe into a prepared rectangular baking pan lined with parchment paper in an even layer.
4. Bake for around 25-30 minutes until the meringue is firm, slightly cracked on top and lightly browned. Leave to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
5. Cut a piece of baking parchment slightly larger than the pan and place on the worktop. Carefully turn the meringue out onto the baking parchment and let cool.
6. Meanwhile, whip the cream for the filling with the icing sugar and vanilla until stiff. Chop the mandarins into small pieces.
7. Peel away the parchment from the cold meringue. Spread an even layer of the whipped cream on top of the meringue and then add the mandarin pieces. Very carefully roll up the meringue lengthwise, as tightly and neatly as possible, using the baking parchment to help you.
8 Transfer to a large serving plate, making sure the seam is underneath. Drizzle the melted chocolate across the top, then sprinkle with the toasted chopped hazelnuts. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

I think the Budapest Roll Cake must be a delightful blend of flavors and textures! Though, I might try sprinkling some crushed nuts on top for added crunch!
