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)

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

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

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      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.
