how to make Gluten Free Chocolate Raspberry Swiss Roll

Ingredients

4 large Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 cup Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 cup Heavy Cream
2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
1/2 cup Fresh Raspberries
2 tbsp Raspberry Jam

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed for 5 minutes until thick and pale.
Fold in the cocoa powder, gluten free all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract gently.
Spread the light batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.
Immediately invert the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment, and roll the cake up inside the towel from the short end. Let it cool completely.
Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Mash the fresh raspberries lightly and fold them into the whipped cream.
Unroll the cooled chocolate cake carefully. Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the surface, followed by the raspberry whipped cream.
Gently re-roll the cake without the towel. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour before slicing.
