-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/2 cup cocoa powder
-
3/4 cup coconut sugar
-

For the Strawberry Buttercream:
-
1/2 cup vegan butter
-
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
-
1/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries (blended into powder)
-
1-2 tbsp plant-based milk (as needed)

1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Vegan Ganache:
-
1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
-
1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together cassava flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and coconut sugar.
-
In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until combined.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
-
While still warm, carefully roll the cake (with parchment paper) into a log. Let cool completely.
-
For the buttercream, beat vegan butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and strawberry powder, beating until fluffy. Add plant-based milk and vanilla as needed.
-
Unroll the cooled cake gently, spread with strawberry buttercream, and roll it back up without the parchment.
-
For the ganache, melt the chocolate chips with coconut milk until smooth. Let it cool slightly before pouring over the rolled cake.
-
Chill in the fridge to set before slicing and serving!
Notes
-
Make sure the cake is warm when rolling to avoid cracking.
-
Adjust buttercream consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
-
Decorate with extra strawberry slices or vegan sprinkles for a festive look!
