While my pumpkin roll was made using almond flour, you can use any flour of your choice that measures like almond flour. However, if you are using a flour that has gluten, simply omit the xanthum gum.
More helpful tips for you.
- When selecting an almond flour, make sure that you are using a fine or super fine blanched variety. Other varieties of almond, such as almond meal, will have an effect on the ability of the cake to roll up.
- Use parchment paper that overhangs the sides of the baking pan. This will make it easier to lift the cake out of the pan and roll it up.
- Make sure that your eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature for best results. Softer cream cheese is essential to the success of the frosting texture needed to roll the cake up.
