Gluten Free Cake Roll
Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Roll

Cake roll. Jelly roll. Jam roll. Log cake.

What were they called when you were a kid? What do you call this spongy cake that you bake on a cookie sheet, roll up and fill with jam, whipped cream, or a fruit filling?

I have been playing with cake roll recipes lately. These cake rolls or jelly rolls were something I grew up with and I’ve been trying hard to perfect a gluten-free version to share here.

This time I worked on a gluten-free chocolate cake roll. One that you can fill with cherry pie filling and whipped cream for a holiday dessert. Or just simply raspberry jam and enjoy it with a cup or tea or a glass of milk.

I will be sharing more cake roll recipes this year. I’ve made a keto/low carb matcha cake roll that is light and perfect for dessert. I have also made a classic gluten free version of a vanilla jam roll.

I can’t wait to share more baking recipes here.
