Gluten-free chocolate orange yule log recipe – topped with Cadbury chocolate orange buttons and chocolate orange Toblerone. I put a little spin on my classic festive yule log once again and well… here we are yet again! So no – definitely don’t throw everything in the bowl at once, please! Can I make this recipe without xanthan gum? Of course! I’ve frozen it for up to 2-3 months no problem. Ideally, slice up the cake first before freezing. Then, you can easily defrost a few slices at a time instead of the entire thing.
In gluten-free self-raising flour, there’s usually even a little baking powder and xanthan gum in it too which always helps. So to replace it with just one specific type of flour… that’s not going to cut it at all. Definitely go for a gluten-free flour blend. Do I need weighing scales to bake your gluten-free chocolate orange swiss roll recipe? Of course, follow the steps above to make this dairy-free also. Is your gluten-free chocolate orange yule log recipe low FODMAP? Of course you can – and it’ll save you on elbow grease! I don’t use a standing mixer or food processor to make the cake mixture personally – I use an electric hand whisk like this. Though it’s easy to make this dairy-free using the instructions above this recipe isn’t so easy to make vegan unfortunately. Don’t skip adding xanthan gum to this one. We should all be impressed that it’s even possible that you can roll up a sponge without gluten, so don’t expect it to work half as well with out my favourite gluten-replacer: xanthan gum.Certainly not! What you will need however is a swiss roll tin – I use this one by Mary Berry and Lakeland, it’s 35cm by 25cm. This isn’t a regular sponge recipe – there’s no butter! So definitely don’t throw all the sponge ingredients at once. Trust me, it won’t turn out ok and we need the sponge to be spot on so it can be rolled without breaking. If I was to try and make this vegan, I’d try aquafaba first (3 tbsp per egg) as it’s one of the few egg replacers that can whip up like real egg. If you try making this recipe using aquafaba before I do, please let me know how you get on in the comments below this post.
dark chocolate: Dark chocolate creates a wonderfully, rich, chocolatey buttercream but don’t worry – it doesn’t taste like dark chocolate!
