By: Cuisine l'Angélique
PORTIONS: 10
ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
- 140 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour "La Merveilleuse"
- 1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) cream of tartar
- 105 g (1/3 cup) maple syrup
- 85 g (1/3 cup) plant-based milk substitute
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- Toppings and frostings for choco-raspberry logs or ice cream logs
PREPARATION
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
- In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg yolks, maple syrup, plant-based milk substitute and vanilla. Beat in a blender at medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites. Start gently, add the cream of tartar, then beat at maximum speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the first mixture with a spatula.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread the dough with a spatula evenly to make a rectangle of 25 cm x 35 cm (10 x 14 inches).
- Bake on the centre rack of the oven for about 13 to 15 minutes, or until a slight pressure of the finger leaves no footprints.
- Return to a dishcloth that has been sprinkled with icing sugar. Gently remove the parchment paper, roll the cake without tightening too much and let stand for 4 minutes.
- Unroll, place the desired filling and roll again.
- Place on a serving plate and glaze.
