High Speed Mum's Gluten Free Chocolate Roulade
(1)
45 min
This roulade is made as it should be - without flour. A wonderfully simple roulade made with chocolate, eggs, sugar and little else. Rolling tip: I find it easier to roll up if I turn it out onto a tea towel. It's a bit more flexible.

I make this for my hubbie and sister. Its so easy peasy and tastes really great. My only gripe is that the sides rise up really high and then collapse - that could just be my new oven - but taste is not affected. - 18 Apr 2014
