Ingredients

• 60 grams Gluten-free baking flour
• 20 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 4 large Eggs
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x13 inch baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, sift together the gluten-free baking flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.

Step 4

Beat the egg yolks with 50 grams of sugar and vanilla extract until pale and creamy.

Step 5

In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Gradually add the remaining 50 grams of sugar to the egg whites, continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites using a spatula.

Step 8

Sift the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and fold gently until combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 9

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking tray.

Step 10

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Then, turn the cake out onto another piece of parchment paper that has been dusted with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Step 12

Carefully peel off the baking parchment. Using the sugar-dusted parchment, gently roll the cake from one short side to the other and set aside to cool completely.

Step 13

While the cake is cooling, make the filling by whipping the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Step 14

Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread the whipped cream filling evenly over the surface.

Step 15

Re-roll the cake gently but tightly without the parchment paper and place seam-side down on a serving platter.

Step 16

Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy your Gluten-Free Chocolate Swiss Roll!
