Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 3 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
- ¾ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- ⅔ cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dairy-free cream cheese (such as almond or coconut-based)
- 3 tbsp coconut cream (from the top of a chilled can)
- ¼ cup maple syrup or powdered coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional topping: Coconut powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs (or flax eggs) and coconut sugar until light and frothy. Add pumpkin purée and vanilla; mix until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake for 12–14 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
- While warm, carefully turn the cake onto a clean towel dusted with coconut powdered sugar. Roll up gently (with the towel) and let cool completely.
- For the filling, beat dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and re-roll gently without the towel.
- Chill for 1 hour before slicing. Dust with coconut powdered sugar before serving.
