Easy Gluten-Free Pumpkin Swiss Roll Recipe: A Perfect Fluffy and Delicious Autumn Dessert
Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Cake:
3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
In a larger bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Bake the Cake:
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched.
Roll the Cake:
While the cake is still warm, lift it out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper.
Starting at one of the short ends, roll the cake up with the parchment paper inside.
Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Filling:
Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Swiss Roll:
Carefully unroll the cooled cake.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
Re-roll the cake, peeling off the parchment paper as you go.
Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Serve:
Before serving, dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
Slice and serve chilled.
