Traditional to the northern regions of Brazil, this sweet treat is unique in appearance and taste. The idea is pretty simple. Make a large thin cake, spread some filling on top, and roll it all into a "bolo de rolo" literally meaning a rolled cake. This paticular one was also from O Camarada restaurant (twas my dessert...) called Delicia Pernambucana.

The filling is a type of guava jam, the ice cream is plain vanilla, and the sauce is also made from guava. This type of cake is usually pretty dense and not too airy. It is also pretty sweet due to the high proportion of filling to cake volume. It's very moist and not crumbly, but also spongy absorbing the ice cream and sauce. Thankfully you tend to burn a ton of calories during your day to day routine as a dive instructor, so this type of indulgence was allowed.
