Ingredients

  • Almond flour (1 cup / 120g)
  • Rice flour (3/4 cup / 90g)
  • Gluten-free baking powder (1 tsp)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (1/4 cup / 25g)
  • Granulated sugar (3/4 cup / 150g)
  • Large eggs (3, room temperature)
  • Unsalted butter (1/2 cup / 115g, melted and cooled)
  • Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
  • Salt (a pinch)
  • Cream cheese (8 oz / 225g, softened)
  • Powdered sugar (1 cup / 120g)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (1/4 cup / 25g)
  • Heavy cream (1/4 cup / 60ml)
  • Bittersweet chocolate (2 oz / 55g, melted and cooled)
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together almond flour, rice flour, gluten-free baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar on high speed for 3-4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  4. With mixer on low, add melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and combine.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, keeping as much air as possible.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth evenly. Bake for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and cake feels springy.
  7. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cocoa-dusted kitchen towel. Peel off parchment paper and roll cake with towel inside. Let cool completely rolled.
  8. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder and mix until combined.
  9. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into cream cheese mixture.
  10. Fold in melted bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  11. Unroll cooled cake carefully and spread filling evenly over surface, leaving a small border.
  12. Roll cake back up tightly without towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours to set.
  13. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy for a light cake. Fold dry ingredients gently to keep air bubbles. Roll cake warm with a cocoa-dusted towel to prevent cracks. Chill well before slicing. Use high-quality bittersweet chocolate for best flavor. Filling can be made a day ahead and whipped again before use. Cake freezes well when wrapped properly.
