Description
A classic and comforting pumpkin roll perfect for autumn gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
- For the Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, lay out a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle it generously with powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one of the short ends, tightly roll up the warm cake and towel together. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese and butter in a bowl until smooth.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Once the cake roll is completely cool, gently unroll it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border.
- Carefully re-roll the cake, this time without the towel.
- Wrap the pumpkin roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
- Do not overbake the cake, as it needs to be pliable for rolling.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before unrolling and spreading the filling.
- Chill the roll for at least an hour for easier slicing.
