Lemon Custard-Filled Cake Roll
"This classic Spanish dessert of a rolled sponge cake filled with a creamy lemon custard is called brazo de gitano or “gypsy’s arm.” Nobody seems to know how the cake got this name, though one explanation is that the cake roll is thick like a muscular gypsy’s arm. The scrumptious cream filling is often flavored with sherry, rum, caramel or coffee...."
