A festive gluten-free Yule log filled with creamy vanilla and topped with chocolate ganache, perfect for holiday celebrations.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice
  • For the filling: 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • For the topping: 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup heavy cream for ganache

Instructions

  1. Line a 10 by 15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment and lightly grease the parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar for 4 to 5 minutes until pale and thick. Beat in vanilla and oil.
  3. Sift the gluten-free flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold it into the egg mixture in two additions, alternating with the milk. Do not overmix.
  4. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.
  5. Turn the hot cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar, peel off the parchment, and roll it up with the towel from the short side. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes.
  6. Whip cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to soft peaks.
  7. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream, and roll it back up without the towel. Place seam side down on a tray.
  8. Heat cream until steaming, pour over chocolate chips, wait 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  9. Spread ganache over the roll, and drag a fork down the length to create bark lines.
  10. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes for clean slices.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, swap milk for a non-dairy milk and use coconut cream for filling.
