The torta Rogel, or simply Rogel, is an Argentine variant of mille-feuille cake made with layers of puff pastry, dulce de leche filling and Italian meringue topping. ^[1]

History

The Rogel cake is attributed to Charo Balbiani, who in the 1960s in Buenos Aires modified a Dutch mille-feuille cake by replacing the fruit jam with dulce de leche, giving rise to the classic Argentine dessert. The Balbiani family registered the recipe, and despite a temporary halt to production, Rogel has remained a classic of Argentine pastry. ^{[2] [3] [4]}
