I’m also Argie (: Even though I agree, some Argentinians could mistake about Rogel cake and Mil Hojas. But here I perceive one of them, hmmm? if you! …you may be too young? I have enjoyed Argentinian desserts for over 60 years!!! it is certainly enough to recognize the difference between the two desserts I use to eat ((: and it happens the Rogel is one of my favorites, yummy! and, I know pretty well the Mil Hojas texture, too.
I’m not questioning you or judging your knowledge about tasting both desserts, either! I know their ingredients, the difference of their dough, and how to prepare both, it’s a lot of work.
But what you’re questioning here, is just a photo, isn’t it? Then, I’m afraid you are confused with the look of a picture, as much as other people confuses the flavor between a Rogel & a Mil Hojas cake. The pic is pretty clear to me showing “Aunt Sandra’s homemade Rogel cake” neither to say she was popular for that Rogel! Applause to the aunt! I have not doubt about the photo is showing the layers of a Rogel. ( : If we would have tasted the Rogel cake… So then, only then we could have an opinion of whether it taste as a Rogel or as a Mil Hojas, ja! That’s my though.
Years ago, we used to find this cake in many bakery stores or restaurants in Argentina. Unfortunately, it’s true nowadays is hard to find the Rogel cake.

Thanks for your support 🙂

That sounds delicious Matias. I believe we had something very similar. There are so many wonderful desserts in Argentina. We look forward to coming back and exploring further. Thanks for the tip!

Yum…yum and yum to everything you’ve just said. We tried that exact combination and it is divine. Hope you can taste that soon too! Cheers.

Glad you enjoyed the article, Carol. The desserts in Argentina are worth seeking out. Much different from the ones we had in the Philippines. Thanks for stopping by!

Glad this article introduced you to Argentinian desserts. They are all good and you can’t go wrong with any of them! Hope you get to try them soon, Shreya. Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, that’s wonderful that you discovered dulce de leche. It is absolutely the best. We were blown away by the number of aisles stocked with dulce de leche in Argentina as well as the varieties. Our favorite ended up being homemade from a local artisan. Regardless, dulce de leche is a treat that keeps on giving. Thanks, Danik.
