How to Make Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with Reynolds Release foil, spraying lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Beat 6 large egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks with an electric mixer until thick and pale yellow (lemon-colored).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the beaten egg yolks, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract).
  7. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the stiffly beaten egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the foil.
  11. Starting from the short end, gently roll the cake and the kitchen towel together. Let it cool completely.
  12. Unroll the cake and spread with 1 ½ cups of whipped cream or softened ice cream.
  13. Re-roll the cake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
