How to Serve Cinnamon Maple Pecan Roulades

These roulades are best served fresh. You can slice them into generous pieces and dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish. They pair wonderfully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also top them with extra chopped pecans or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.

How to Store Cinnamon Maple Pecan Roulades

If you have leftovers, store the roulades in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze the roulades for up to a month. To enjoy, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips to Make Cinnamon Maple Pecan Roulades

1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
2. Don’t Overmix: When adding dry ingredients to wet, mix until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
3. Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely after rolling to avoid a soggy texture.

Variation

You can customize this recipe by adding chocolate chips or dried fruits, such as cranberries or raisins, to the batter for extra flavor and texture.

FAQs
