Description

A delightful pumpkin roll filled with creamy frosting, perfect for fall gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Grease and flour a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt.
  3. Beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the pumpkin puree and oil.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it generously with powdered sugar.
  8. Immediately invert the cake onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  9. Roll the cake up tightly in the towel. Let it cool completely in the towel.
  10. Prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  11. Add in the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  12. Gently unroll the cooled cake. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  13. Roll the cake back up without the towel. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  14. Dust the pumpkin roll with additional powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is not too watery for best results.
