Recipe Notes and Ideas

Following are ideas for making this gluten-free pumpkin roll right into a smashing success.

Mixing Order: You possibly can both combine the moist and dry elements individually or combine all of them collectively without delay. For greatest outcomes, combine them individually, however in case you’re in a pinch you’ll be able to minimize corners there.

Tin Foil Hat Rolling Tip: Whereas many recipes on the internet name for rolling the cake straight away or no less than early on within the cooling course of after which unrolling it (and even rolling the cake in a kitchen towel first), or eradicating the cake from the pan to be able to roll it, you may make the entire thing a lot a lot MUCH simpler by masking the freshly with tin foil till cool. This tip was talked about on this publish and holds the moisture into the cake so it rolls simply and with out cracking.

A lot better to do all of your rolling and filling within the baking pan to stop breakage.

Pumpkin Puree or Pumpkin Pie Filling? Do NOT (I repeat do NOT) use pumpkin pie filling as a substitute of pumpkin puree for this recipe or some other recipe on this web site. Pumpkin pie filling has added sweeteners and spices and the recipe will probably be too candy in case you use that as a substitute.

Can You Use Different Pan Sizes for This Cake? A jelly roll pan will work greatest, however you should utilize one other equally formed pan for this recipe. Take into account the baking time will probably be completely different. I’ve tried this in a 9×13 pan quite a few occasions and it is labored out simply wonderful, but it surely took a bit longer to bake.

What’s an Offset Spatula and Why Is It Useful for This Recipe?: An offset spatula is a spatula (yeah I do know I simply broke the rule of utilizing the time period within the definition) with a protracted slim versatile blade (that is usually steel) with a rounded finish, and a deal with. The lengthy blade makes it straightforward to clean cake batter into baking pans and in addition loosen muffins from the perimeters of pans after they bake.

For this cake, an offset spatula works nice for the smoothing of the batter and the cream cheese filling. You should use one other spatula, however the offset one works nice.

Particular Eating regimen Choices

Low-carb / Keto: To make this recipe low-carb / keto, use 1 cup almond flour and 1/8 – 1/4 cup coconut flour, improve the baking powder to 1 1/2 teaspoons and improve elective xanthan gum to 1 tsp and presumably yet another egg. I have not tried a keto model with aquafaba however I believe it could work fairly effectively.

Bake the keto model of this cake at 350. I have not tried the aluminum foil technique with a keto cake but, however what I did do is roll the cake loosely when it wasn’t too scorching to roll, then let it cool, and unroll for filling.

Sweetener choices: I’ve made this recipe utilizing each an erythritol / monk fruit mix and in addition xylitol. Allulose would work nice as effectively. If you happen to’re not avoiding sugar / carbs you should utilize white sugar as effectively (ack! Simply kidding, however….) or use coconut sugar for a midpoint between the sugar-free choices and “common” sugar.

Storage: You possibly can retailer this Pumpkin Roll for 3-4 days within the fridge, tightly coated. It can be frozen for as much as 6 months in a freezer secure container and may both be eaten frozen (yummy!) or defrosted entire within the fridge earlier than serving, or particular person slices could be frozen and defrosted earlier than serving.

Vegan: To make this pumpkin roll vegan, merely use an egg substitute. Aquafaba offers the very best outcomes. This Egg Replacer works pretty effectively. I have not tried it with different egg options however I believe applesauce and banana ought to work fairly effectively, however I once more suppose aquafaba is the only option whereas utilizing the xanthan gum as effectively.
