Bolo de rolo (English translation: rollcake) is a typical Brazilian dessert,[1] from the state of Pernambuco.

The cake batter is made with flour, eggs, butter and sugar.

Upon arriving in Brazil, the Portuguese cooks changed the filling to guava fruit, which is plentiful in northeastern Brazil, cooked with sugar, which was abundant since it was made in the factories of the region.

It is common to sprinkle the bolo de rolo with sugar for presentation.

Ordinary Law № 379/2007: bolo de rolo was recognized as intangible heritage of Pernambuco.
