Scale

  • 3/4 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting cloth)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, sift together gluten-free flour, cornstarch, and powdered sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry mixture in batches until incorporated.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the top is golden and springs back when touched.
  8. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and invert the cake onto the towel while warm. Peel off parchment and roll the cake gently in the towel. Let it cool completely.
  9. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  10. In another bowl, beat heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into cream cheese mixture.
  11. Unroll the cooled cake and spread filling evenly over the surface.
  12. Scatter raspberries, blueberries, and diced strawberries over the filling.
  13. Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
