Pumpkin Roulade

Bake Off is on its way, with a brand new episode for Dessert Week, which will see the bakers tackle the somewhat tricky roulade in their quest for baking perfection. To tie in with this week's signature challenge, our featured recipe is a tasty, autumnal twist on the classic Swiss roll, from the lovely Ramona over at Monalouge.

To celebrate the arrival of Autumn, and this being our first featured recipe of October, we thought it was only right that the bake should be suitably seasonal. With cinnamon and pumpkin, Ramona's roulade delivers the iconic taste of the season, using healthier ingredients to alleviate guilt, while preserving the sweet, comforting flavour.

You can find details of how to make this delicious cake below, but be sure to visit Monalouge for full details, including nutritional break-downs!
