- 500 g All-purpose flour(Approximately 4.5 cups)
- 6 Egg yolks(Reserve whites for meringue)
- 150 g Whole eggs(For the dough)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter(Softened)
- 1/2 teaspoon Water(Cold)
- 1 teaspoon Salt(Approximately 1.5 teaspoons)
- 800 g Vodka(Optional, helps with crispiness; evaporates during baking)
- for topping Dulce de leche(Thick, good quality for baking (approximately 4 cups))

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the egg yolks, whole egg, cold water, and vodka (if using). Using a spatula or your hands, mix until a shaggy dough forms. Gradually incorporate the softened butter, a little at a time, kneading until fully combined and the dough is smooth and firm. It might seem sticky initially but will become drier as you knead. Knead for about 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until very smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
โฑ๏ธ 30 minutes (plus 30 minutes chilling) - 2
Shape and Bake the Layers: Preheat your oven to 200ยฐC (400ยฐF). Divide the chilled dough into 12 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion very thinly (about 2-3 mm or 1/8 inch thick). Use a plate or a round cutter (approximately 20-22 cm / 8-9 inches in diameter) to cut out perfect circles. Place the dough circles onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Prick each disc multiple times with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and crisp. Watch carefully as they can burn quickly. As soon as one batch is done, remove it and place the next into the oven. Allow the baked discs to cool completely on a wire rack.
โฑ๏ธ 45 minutes - 3
Make the Swiss Meringue: Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the egg whites and granulated sugar to the bowl. Whisk constantly over the simmering water until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warm to the touch (around 60ยฐC / 140ยฐF). Test by rubbing a small amount between your fingers; if no sugar grains remain, it's ready. Remove the bowl from the heat. Using an electric mixer (stand or hand mixer), whip the egg white mixture on medium-high speed until it forms stiff, glossy peaks and the base of the bowl has cooled to room temperature. Whisk in the lemon juice during the last minute of whipping.
โฑ๏ธ 25-30 minutes (for all layers, baking in batches) - 4
Assemble the Torta Rogel: To prevent the cake from sliding, spread a small amount of dulce de leche on your serving plate to act as an adhesive. Place the first pastry disc onto the plate. Spread a thin, even layer of dulce de leche over the disc. Top with another pastry disc and repeat the process, alternating pastry layers with dulce de leche, until all discs are used, leaving the top disc without dulce de leche.
โฑ๏ธ 20 minutes - 5
Frost and Finish: Generously spread the Swiss meringue over the top of the final pastry disc, covering the entire cake. You can create decorative swirls or peaks with a spatula or a piping bag fitted with a large tip. For a toasted meringue finish, you can carefully use a kitchen torch. Allow the meringue to set slightly before slicing and serving.

- โEnsure your dulce de leche is thick and of good quality; thinner versions may lead to a less stable cake.
- โRolling the dough very thinly is key to achieving the characteristic crispiness of Rogel layers.
- โBake the layers until they are just golden; overbaking will make them too brittle and difficult to handle.
- โChill the dough thoroughly before rolling and cutting to make it easier to work with.
- โIf the meringue seems too loose, continue whipping it until it reaches firmer peaks.

- Some recipes incorporate a small amount of baking powder into the dough for a slightly airier texture.
- Instead of Swiss meringue, Italian meringue can be used; it's made by pouring a hot sugar syrup into whipped egg whites, creating a very stable meringue.
- For a richer dough, some recipes use a combination of butter and oil, or even heavy cream as the fat component.
