Ingredients
- Pumpkin puree
- Sugar
- Flour
- Eggs
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Salt
- Vanilla extract
- Cream cheese
- Butter
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
- Immediately turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully roll the cake up in the towel and let it cool completely.
- For the filling, beat together cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream cheese filling evenly, then roll it back up without the towel.
- Wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Dust the kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking.
- For cleaner slices, chill the pumpkin roll before cutting.
