Gluten Free Pumpkin Roll

by - November 05, 2017

The holidays are fast approaching and the pumpkin craze is in full swing.  I love all things pumpkin except pumpkin pie.  It is not my favorite and I will only eat it if there are no other options.  I decided to try my hand at making a pumpkin roll because who doesn't like pumpkin cake with lots of cream cheese frosting.  The whole roll thing freaked me out a little bit but I was determined.  After my first try I was sold.  Not only was it amazing but it really wasn't as hard as it looks.  People are super impressed when you serve this up and you can keep it a secret as to how easy it really is.

The only thing that I can say about it is that it might give you a mild heart attack when you are rolling and unrolling the cake.  It is scary, especially when it's your first time.  Just go slow and if you see a crack don't freak out.  Just keep going, you can always fix a crack by sprinkling powdered sugar over it.  Also, make sure to let it cool completely before you unroll it and spread on the frosting.  This will help it to not crack. The warmer it is the more likely it will crack. I hope that you give it a try, especially if you are a pumpkin lover like me.  The cake is so moist and the frosting gives it a great creaminess.  Your guests will be floored when you tell them it is gluten free.  Make sure you check out my apple and berry pies to add to your holiday spread.  Also, you don't want to miss my pie crust recipe in order to make all your favorite pies gluten free.
