The recipe is at home and the computer here at the flower shop. I will bring it in for you. There are a couple of tricks to a roll and I will tell you those now.

This is a cake batter but baked very thin. So it tends to break when you dump it out of the pan. So I spray the cookie sheet with Pam VERY heavily. When you pour and spread the batter, it should swim in the spray around the edges. When you dump it, you'll see why.

After it bakes, dump right away onto cotton towels or towel if large , covered with a thick layer of powdered sugar. This is when it may stick and break. If it does, DON'T panic!! Use a sharp knife to coax the stuck part away from the pan and puzzle piece it back together on your towel. Believe me, this has happened to me many, many times. It's OK. When you are ready to frost, you are going to mortar these pieces together and no one will notice. It's so yummy they will just want more!! I just put the that part on the bottom or if it's too large for that, I pre-slice the whole roll and no one can tell then. It won't matter a bit.

After you've dumped it onto the towel with the sugar, roll it in the towel like a burrito. Fold the sides of the towel into the cake also the ends, then roll rather tightly on the long edge. THat's why it needs to be hot, it can be rolled now. It should look like a towel log. You don't want the cake to touch cake only towel as you roll it.

Now refrigerate until cold, because I like to spread the work out, I usually leave it in there a day or two before I frost. You don't have to but it does need to be cold. When you unroll it cold, do so carefully and do not press it completely flat. Frost then roll it again. Here you will probably want to cut then ends off because they are not pretty and someone must be forced to eat them. OK, I volunteer. Now refrigerate again until firm as it will cut more prettily then. It can be wrapped in plastic wrap.

This freezes extremely well. I freeze, wrapping in extra layers then defrost in the fridge so it doesn't draw moisture. Slice and serve. If you are traveling with it sliced, put waxed paper between the slices.

Now you have all my wisdom learned over the years, grasshopper. I will bring in the recipe next.

Pumpkin Roll

3 eggs

1 c. sugar

2/3 c. pumpkin

1 T. lemon juice

3/4 c. mixed gluten-free flour

1/2 t. xantham gum

1/2 t. guar gum

1 t. baking powder

2 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. nutmeg

1 t. ginger

Mix all ingredients well. Pour into well greased cookie sheet or jelly roll. Spread to the edges. Tap pan on counter to settle. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (gluten-free baking usually takes a little longer.)

Take a cotton dish towel and lay flat. Cover heavily with powdered sugar, covering all edges. When cake is done baking invert pan onto dish towel. Fold towel edges into cake and roll into a tight roll, lengthwise. You want the longest roll you can make. Refridgerate until completely cold.

Filling

1 c. powdered sugar

8 oz. cream cheese

4 T. butter

1 t. vanilla

Beat all ingredients well until fluffy. Unroll cooled cake and spread filling over entire surface. Reroll cake without towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and place seam down in refridgerator until well chilled. Slice and serve or freeze for later.

Now go out and dazzle your family and friends!!

Well, the cake part is already dairy free, so maybe a thick marshmallow center? Or melted chocolate chips? Or pumpkin butter?

I was also thinking marshmallow creme for the center or nondairy whipped cream but then you must keep it cold.

Hey, would you all let me know how you like it after the hol's?

Merry Christmas!

Caution! I went to a women's Christmas party last night. A gal told us that she had made a pumpkin roll to bring but had to trash it. She dampened the towel and the cake was a soggy, gooey mess. So don't wet the towel! :blink:

No...a wet towel would be bad!! Dry towel with powdered sugar on top.

I made your recipe for our Christmas evening dessert and it was a big hit. I didn't have it stick at all (I did grease and flour the pan). This was a really nice easy dessert to make. The only mishap we had was that a bird decided to sample it as I had it on a tray on the back porch (fridge temperature outside). The bird only ate a small amount from one end so we just cut it off and served. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for sharing. I will certainly try this as soon as I'm comfortable baking again. :)

(I have like a baking phobia or something...years of avoiding grains not knowing it was mostly just gluten...lol)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
