I'll be honest- I set out to make a gluten free pumpkin roll. But, you know, life happens...Either the consistency was a bit off OR I waited too long to roll. Cracks ensued. But, the cake was so moist and delicious!

Last Bite Gluten Free Unrolled Pumpkin Roll

Why does my pumpkin roll crack?

With my unrolled version, no need to worry! But, if you really want to try a rolled version...

  • Be sure to roll the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. A hot cake is more pliable and less likely to crack.
  • Bake with parchment paper under the cake. This will make it very easy to remove the cake and roll.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before unrolling.

 

Do you put pumpkin rolls in the fridge?

Yes, store in the refrigerator.
