Light and airy, this low carb pumpkin cake roll is a delicious fall dessert. With only 3g net carbs per serving, it’s a perfect grain-free, keto treat!
There’s a growing consciousness about where our food comes from, and how it’s grown and raised and brought to market, and I find myself thinking more and more about these things all the time. This consciousness took a while to dawn on me, which is strange considering I spent the first seven years of my life on a small farm in Ontario. We raised beef cattle, so I never fell into that trap of thinking that our food, our meat and eggs and produce, sprang fully formed from grocery store shelves. But as a society, we have distanced ourselves for many years from our food production and it can be hard to remember where our food actually comes from. Now there seems to be a profound shift in this thinking, and it is without question a shift for the better. Supporting small scale, humane farming practices benefits not only the farmers, but also the animals and the environment. I now try to be as mindful as possible when I shop for food, be it at the grocery store or the farmer’s market. I check out my labelling a lot more carefully, looking for the brands that support small farmers and healthier, more ethical farming practices such as cage-free and grassfed. I have often purchased Nellie’s Cage-Free Eggs, as well as their organic sister brand, Pete & Gerry’s, because they fit both these bills. You can read more about the Nellie’s story here (there really was a Nellie, and she was a hen!), but they were the first certified humane egg farm in the country.
As someone who follows a low carb diet and loves to bake, I go through a lot of eggs. And by a lot of eggs, I really mean a LOT of eggs. Low carb, gluten-free baking typically takes more eggs than conventional recipes do, often two or three times as many. I also have a family of five to feed and we often eat eggs for breakfast. Or dinner. Scrambled, fried, or cooked up in a frittata, they make an easy, healthy meal. We probably go through an average of 3 dozen eggs a week. Given our high egg consumption, I like knowing that I am making choices that are healthier, more ethical and that support small farmers. I also love that their eggs are packed in recycled material. “This package used to be a plastic bottle”.
This low carb, gluten-free pumpkin roll has been on my to-make list for a while and of course, it takes a number of eggs. I modelled the cake part after conventional pumpkin roll recipes, which have you whip the egg whites and fold them into a batter that doesn’t contain a lot of flour (or almond flour, in my case). This makes it lighter and airier, and a lot less cake-y. It also makes it a bit tricky to work with and prone to cracking, especially in the absence of gluten. I also did away with the heavy cream cheese filling and opted for a lightly sweetened whipped cream with a little coffee flavour. But OH MY, it was divine. It was so light and airy that it was rather like biting into a pumpkin-flavoured cloud. Or maybe a pumpkin latte flavoured cloud.
Pumpkin Roll with Coffee Cream
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs separated
- 3/4 cup Swerve Sweetener divided
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Filling:
- 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
- 1/3 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1 1/2 tsp instant coffee
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- More powdered Swerve Sweetener for dusting
Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line an 11x17 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease the paper very well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks on high with 1/4 cup of the sweetener, until they become pale yellow and thickened. Beat in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
- In large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add remaining sweetener, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture, then gently fold in the almond almond flour mixture until well combined. Spread into prepared baking pan and bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until cake just springs back when touched.
- Remove and let cool 10 to 15 minutes, then cover with another sheet of parchment and a large cutting board or another large baking sheet. Flip everything upside down and remove the top baking sheet. Very gently peel off the parchment paper on which the cake was baked.
- Keep the cake covered with parchment and a tea towel to keep in moisture as it cools. Let cool but don't leave too long before filling and rolling (should just be barely warm still, to avoid cracking, but too warm and it will melt the filling).
Filling:
- Whip cream with powdered sweetener, instant coffee and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.
- Spread cake evenly with filling, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Gently roll from a short side, using the bottom parchment to lift the cake to avoid cracking as much as possible.
- Cover and freeze until firm. Remove from freezer 15 minutes prior to serving. Dust with powdered sweetener. Return any leftover cake to the freezer.

Being kind is good for everyone and everything. I think that being kind to chickens makes for better tasting and more nutritional eggs. Happy chickens = happy eggs! 🙂
Hi Carolyn!
I have a question- in making “jelly roll” type filled cakes in the past, I’ve rolled them up to cool and then unrolled to fill and re-rolled – does being gluten free make it so the cake won’t hold up to the unrolling once cooled and re-rolling once filled? Or is it that this pumpkin roll is lighter and not cake like?
I’m just trying to learn about this new way of cooking and understanding so I might adapt some recipes that I miss.
Thank you,
Sherrie Lee
Carolyn says
The pre-rolling caused my cake to crack even more (in the absence of gluten) so I found it easier to just keep it wrapped up until mostly cool, then roll it once the filling was in it. It will still crack some, though.
Sherrie Lee says
Thank you!
Dale says
Do you think maybe it would crack less if I used a powdered sweetener instead of granular? I know granular swerve/erythritol has a tendency to crystallize when cooling, maybe the powdered form would help? I think I may try that out
Carolyn says
Not sure it will help much, the fact is that without gluten, these things are simply more prone to cracks.
Linda Biggs says
Being kind is important because how we treat others (human and animal) tells others what kind of a person we really are. As far as food producing animals go, even if they are destined to be our dinner, they still deserve humane treatment through their whole life, including the end.

The best way to explain how it is cool to be kind is to think of when someone did something kind for you – lent a hand, gave you a hug, sent you a card on a day that most ppl might not realize is a hard day for you, and you realize how much better it makes the world, even if one person, one little deed, each time – to the recipient, it is the whole world! I’m swooning over this recipe, I think it is the best recipe I’ve seen all year, never mind the added benefit of low carb or the gluten free. It is a show stopper. I’d love to make this.

It’s the little things that can make someone’s day!

It is cool to be kind because everyone wins. You feel good about yourself, someone else feels good about you, and someone else benefits by being treated well and thus they feel good about themselves, too! 😀

Kindness is something we can all engage in, anytime and anywhere. Kindness is a choice. You don’t have to donate rare items to make someone happy, but in every single situation you have the choice to choose to act with kindness.

It is good to be kind because when you are kind you give of energy so that others are kind to you. Now this means kind to all creatures. I love caged free chickens because it bugs me when I find out that these poor chickens are shut up in a cage and can never see sun or breath fresh air. How sad.

Jill Myrick says
Being kind is what life is all about. It shows that you have a good heart and genuinely care for others. It can turn a bad day into a much better day for those that you are kind to and sometimes all that person needed was a little kindness to show that someone cares.

ellen beck says
Being kind is an easy thing to do- you relax and feel good- and you make others feel better around you. It’s harder to be cruel- that takes screwing up your face in a scowl, and being mean . Its healthier to be kind, so do everyone a favor and yourself and be kind!

Kindness promotes peace and love….everything our world needs to grow and thrive. What we give comes back to us and the cycle continues. Kindness heals the deepest wounds.
Jill Bywaters says
It is our kindness that, especially when given unexpected or undeserved, leads others to examine their own hearts and to turn around and humbly share kindness with the next person. Grace and mercy flow from kind hearts.
David Pearson says
Your recipe calls for “3/4 cup Swerve Sweetener, divided”. What do you mean by ‘Divided’? Is that the same as “Sifted”? I’ve done that with Flour, but not with granulated sweetener, at least net yet.
David
Carolyn says
Hi David. No, “divided” means you use some of it in one part of the recipe and some in another. Read the instructions and you will see how the amount of Swerve is divided up.
Vanessa says
I have a question about this pumpkin cake roll. It calls for instant coffee but we are not coffee drinkers so I don’t want to go out and buy it just for this receipe. Is there a good substitute or can I just leave it out? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Carolyn says
Just leave it out.
Evy Delano says
LOVE this recipe! Hard to roll, but that doesn’t matter-taste is superb and the cake is great!
Jeanne Wagner says
I am making this now, so I should have asked this question days ago. I will probably figure this out after I make it but I’m going to ask anyway. Your recipe says to use an 11” x 17“ pan. Are you supposed to spread the cake mixture out to the edges? With the amount of product that will be created it seems that will be extremely thin thickness when spread that far. First time ever making a roll of any sort.
Carolyn says
You want it to be thin as it will rise. This measurements are correct for that pan size.
Morgan Gray says
This is delicious! I’m actually making another one to take to a get together tonight! Thanks for sharing it!
Linda says
I made this last night. It tastes wonderful and I LOVE the coffee flavoring. I now have a learning curve for my next one. Thank you for pumpkin rolls!!
Carolyn says
Hooray!
Katrina says
I just made your Gingerbread Roll and I was wondering if you have an update to this pumpkin roll recipe that uses gelatin to make it easier to roll? Also this pumpkin roll recipe doesn’t use cream of tartar or salt when whipping egg whites.
Carolyn says
I don’t but maybe I will revisit it in the fall!
Jackie says
Hi Carolyn!
If I wanted to swap the coffee with a flavored sugar free syrup, would you suggest using the same amount as the coffee or less? Maybe start small and taste test?
Sandy says
Oh my, this is absolutely amazing! I made this for the first time ever and it was a hit. Mine definitely didn’t look like yours …I had a hard time rolling it and it broke. I’m gonna try again. I gotta get it right so I can bring this to gatherings.
Carolyn says
I’ve found a new trick that helps! Try adding 1 tablespoon of gelatin into the dry ingredients before you mix in the wet ingredients. It makes it more flexible.
Megan says
My daughter made this recipe a couple days ago, and oh my goodness… It was amazing! The filling was outstanding! We added brewed coffee instead of instant coffee and it was delicious! It cracked slightly when we rolled it, but nothing major. Needless to say, we will be making this recipe again!
Carolyn says
I want to try updating this recipe with a spoonful of gelatin in the dry mixture. In my experience, it can help make things a bit more flexible. I just haven’t had time yet!
Sarah says
This is by far the best low carb dessert that I have made!! So delicious!!
Carolyn says
So glad to hear it!
Kristil says
I made this today for our Thanksgiving dessert. It is SO good. I’m not sure whether I prefer the cake or the cream. Thankfully, I don’t have to decide!
