Spread the top evenly then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.
When done, turn the cake out onto a sheet of greaseproof paper or a tea towel. Roll the cake up loosely, starting from the short side, with the paper or towel inside, then sit on its seam and set aside to cool.
When cold, unroll the cake and spread the dulce de leech over the top then sprinkle the coconut flakes over the top of this. Roll up securely, sit on a serving plate then dust with icing sugar and serve.
