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?

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)

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
