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.

We thank you for saving us from all those calories as you learned the perfect technique! ;)

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?

ang1e0251 Contributor

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:

ang1e0251 Contributor

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'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
