The sponge is crafted from carefully folded egg whites and yolks, creating a delicate structure, while a whipped cream filling enhanced with sugar-free vanilla pudding mix adds a rich, velvety texture. Finished with a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder for a touch of sophistication, this coffee roll is not only visually stunning but also naturally gluten-free when using the right flour alternatives. Perfect for coffee lovers and anyone seeking a guilt-free dessert, this refined treat is as satisfying as it is simple to make. Great for gatherings or an indulgent snack, it's a showstopping sugar-free delight!
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 10x15-inch baking tray with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a clean mixing bowl and the yolks in another bowl.
Beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 40 grams of erythritol, beating until glossy.
In the bowl with egg yolks, add the remaining erythritol, vanilla extract, and espresso powder. Beat until thick and pale.
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture and gently fold until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the sponge springs back when gently pressed.
While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on your work surface and dust it with cocoa powder.
After baking, immediately turn the cake out onto the cocoa-powder-dusted towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
Starting from a short edge, roll the warm cake with the towel into a tight roll. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, in a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix and beat until the filling is stiff.
Once the cake is cool, carefully unroll it. Spread the coffee-flavored cream evenly over the surface.
Re-roll the cake without the towel. Transfer it to a serving platter, seam side down.
Dust the top with a bit more cocoa powder if desired, slice, and serve.
