Holidays are a good time to try out new recipes, like this one. The best part is that it’s made with a millet-based brownie mix that is loaded with supergrains and contains zero maida, refined sugar, or preservatives!
Ingredients
☃️ For Gingerbread Roll
- 1 box Mille Fudgy Chocolate Millet Brownie Mix
- 180 ml hot water
- 60 ml melted butter or oil
- 2 eggs or 120 ml thick/vegan yoghurt
☃️ For Jaggery Frosting
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 6 tbsp powdered jaggery (try the Slurrp Farm one!)
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence or extract
How to Make Frosting
- Beat the butter until smooth.
- Add half the jaggery (3 tbsp) and half the water (1 tbsp) and beat well until smooth.
- Add the remaining jaggery and water and beat well until smooth. Beat until desired consistency is achieved (light and fluffy).
- Beat in the cardamom and vanilla essence or extract.
How to Make Gingerbread Roll
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray the pan with nonstick spray; line the pan with parchment paper and spray parchment paper with nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, add the wet ingredients (water, butter/oil, yoghurt/egg) and whisk. Add the dry ingredients (brownie mix and raw unrefined sugar as per your choice) and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- While the cake bakes, place a piece of parchment paper flat on the kitchen counter and dust with 1/2 cup jaggery powder.
- Remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn it out onto the prepared parchment.
- Slowly and carefully peel off the parchment paper from the back of the cake.
- Dust the cake with the remaining 1/4 cup jaggery powder.
- Starting from the narrow end, carefully and gently roll up the cake with the parchment paper; let it cool completely.
- Gently unroll the cooled cake, and use an offset spatula to spread frosting over the cake.
- Carefully re-roll the cake, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Dust with powdered jaggery before slicing and serving!
