The Glutenfree Alchemist - aka Kate - posted the recipe for this here.
It looked so good I just had to try it. I didn't buy enough mascapone (250g instead of 300g) so used what I had and used 50g less icing sugar, there was plenty. I normally hate making rolled bakes of any kind as they can be difficult and very nearly didn't even try but I did and herewith some photographs. Ready for the oven:
The method calls for baking at 180C for 15 minutes but mine was ready after 10! Turned out onto parchment paper covered in cocoa and icing sugar:
Carefully rolled up and pegged into place before leaving to go cold. It also looked similar to this once the mascapone layer had been added and it was put into the fridge to firm up:
Just removed from the fridge - look at that roll:
A portion of mascapone and cream flowers added. I can't ice to save myself so just did a couple of rows then tipped the rest into a bowl for another day. A few chocolate drops added to the centre of each 'flower':
The flavour is intense, very strong in the coffee department. I think this would be great for Christmas but I would have to make a simple vanilla or just a chocolate one for my guests as they are not too keen on strong coffee. The combinations are endless.
The texture is beautiful but we would reduce the sugar a little next time, in both the sponge and mascapone elements, maybe 10g or so less as we are not too keen on too sweet a dessert.
Ab fab darling!
That looks delicious! :)

Thank you, I was quite pleased with the roll up!
DeleteWow - no cracks and looks very yum
ReplyDeleteI know, must be a fluke. Mind you, it probably would have broken if I'd not taken it out of the oven when I did!
DeleteIt looks amazing. How do you get it to roll up without breaking?
ReplyDeleteMaking sure it was just cooked then using the paper it has been flipped onto to roll it up with, making sure the paper rolls up inside as you go, then it shouldn't stick to itself.
DeleteWOW! THAT is FANTASTIC! I always breathe a sigh of relief when someone else has made one of my recipes and it has worked for them too! Sometimes it is quite scary putting my recipes out into the big wide world..... But this is amazing! And you definitely have a better roll than mine.... I hope it tastes as incredible as it looks.....!
ReplyDeleteBaking times are always a little tetchy..... I try to trust that people will know their ovens.... I may be ready for a new one!!!! Thanks for the back-links to the blog xx
Thanks,
DeleteI am pretty sure my oven is too hot but not always:(
