To make this Red Velvet Cake Roll gluten-free, substitute the cake flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend that contains xanthan gum. If the blend does not include xanthan gum, add ¾ teaspoon per cup of flour to support structure. Be extra gentle when rolling and unrolling the sponge, as gluten-free cakes may be slightly more delicate and prone to cracking. The result remains soft, flavorful, and visually striking.
