Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/4 cup Extra powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until thick and lemon-colored, approximately 5 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar into the eggs, continuing to beat. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until no streaks of flour remain.
Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
While the cake is baking, place a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it with the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
Upon removal from the oven, immediately invert the cake onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
Starting at one end, gently roll the cake and towel together into a tight roll. Cool the rolled cake completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and butter until smooth. Let cool until the mixture is spreadable.
Once the cake is cool, unroll it carefully and spread the chocolate filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.
Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place seam side down on a serving platter.
Dust the top with extra powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy your gluten-free deluxe chocolate roll.
