Every time I walk into the grocery store I have to go right past the bakery. After 7 years of being on a complete gluten free diet, I still find this to be the hardest thing to avoid. I love baked goods! I see those chocolate glazed doughnuts and I just want to grab one and eat it right out of the case! I know I can't but I still want one, I remember how good they were! Each week as I am doing my grocery shopping, I walk around the bakery to see if, by chance, they might have something gluten free for me. They never do. This week I saw the most delicious looking jelly roll and I wanted it. Of course, I didn't buy it but I did come home and do some research on how I could make a gluten free jelly roll. I made one of my sponge cakes on a cookie sheet that had high sides on it. I poured out about an inch of batter and baked it. After it was cooled off a bit, I used my spatula to unstick it from the pan. I greased and floured the pan but it still stuck. After it was completely unstuck, I smeared my homemade chokecherry jelly over the entire thing, rolled it up and then rolled it in powdered sugar. Wow, it sure looks good, I wanted to have a piece right then.... but I didn't. I wrapped it up in foil and put it in the fridge. I can't wait to have a piece this morning, I know that it will be awesome! I will be sure to let you know how it turned out. It looks great so it should taste just as good. The recipe for my sponge cake is in my new book - Should I Be Gluten-Free? America's Silent Epidemic - Celiac Disease, along with dozens of all my favorite gluten-free reciipes.
