Description

Embrace the essence of autumn with this delightful pumpkin roll, a true testament to the season's comforting flavors. Imagine layers of velvety cream cascading between a tender, spice-infused pumpkin sponge cake, crowned with even more luscious cream and a scattering of crunchy caramelized pecans. While it may appear intricate, this pumpkin roll is surprisingly simple to create, requiring just a few straightforward steps before the grand assembly.

The secret lies in achieving a light and airy sponge – a delicate balance of moistness and fluffiness that perfectly complements the rich cream and warm spices. The warmth of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves permeates every bite, creating a symphony of autumnal aromas that dance on your palate. The pumpkin itself lends a subtle sweetness and earthy undertone to the cake, adding depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile.

Its natural moisture ensures the sponge remains tender and prevents it from drying out. Choosing the right pumpkin is key to achieving the best results. Opt for smaller, denser varieties with vibrant orange flesh, such as sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins, which boast a more intense flavor than their larger carving counterparts.

Alternatively, butternut squash can serve as a delicious substitute, offering a similar sweetness and texture. For those seeking convenience, canned pumpkin puree can be used as a time-saving alternative. Just be sure to select a product that contains 100% pumpkin, without any added sugars or artificial ingredients.

The caramelized pecans provide a delightful textural contrast to the smooth cream and soft sponge, adding a satisfying crunch and a hint of nutty sweetness. If you prefer a nut-free option, toasted pumpkin seeds offer a similar textural element while complementing the pumpkin spice flavors. This pumpkin roll is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed with a variety of beverages, from a steaming cup of tea or coffee to a comforting chai latte.

Its warm and inviting flavors make it the perfect treat for cozy evenings spent indoors, surrounded by loved ones. It also keeps well in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, allowing you to savor its deliciousness over multiple servings. This dessert is gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a shallow 10x15-inch baking tray with baking paper. Separate the eggs. Put the yolks into a large bowl and the whites into a small bowl and set aside. Add 5 tablespoons/ 1/3 cup pumpkin puree and avocado oil in with the egg yolks. Whisk to a smooth consistency, then add in the almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt. Whisk to combine, the mixture will be relatively thick.
    2.
    Add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed for 1 minute until the eggs start to froth. Add in 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, baking powder, cream of tartar, and 1/3 cup granulated erythritol, keep whisking until stiff peaks form, about 5-8 minutes.
    3.
    Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in small batches until a smooth consistency is achieved. It will initially be a little lumpy, but as you gradually add the rest of the egg whites in, the mixture will ease up. Folding over stirring is important to keep the air in the mixture.
    4.
    Pour the batter into the lined baking tray. Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture across the tray. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes or until evenly golden brown.
    5.
    While the sponge is baking, prepare a sheet of baking paper over a chopping board. Add the pecans and 2 tablespoons of erythritol to a frying pan over medium heat. Toast the pecans for a few minutes on each side until caramelized. Carefully pour the pecans onto the baking paper and allow to cool and the erythritol to crystalize. Roughly chop the pecans into small pieces.
    6.
    Remove the sponge from the oven and leave to cool for 15-20 minutes. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the cream, 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (optional, as some people may find the taste too strong), vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 cup powdered erythritol. Whisk until the cream thickens to a silky but firm consistency, take care not to overwhip the cream.
    7.
    Spread the cream evenly over the sponge. Reserve ¼ cup of cream for the top decoration. Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans over the cream.
    8.
    Use the baking paper as a guide to roll the sponge over itself starting from the short edge. Carefully and slowly, peel the baking paper away as you roll.
    9.
    Top with the remaining cream and chopped pecans. Slice and cozy cup with a hot cup of tea or chai latte.
