Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup flour

For the Filling:

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined.
  • Add in the canned pumpkin, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth.
  1. Prep the Pan:
  • Grease a 10″x15″ jelly roll pan.
  • Line the pan with waxed paper, then grease and lightly flour the waxed paper.
  1. Bake the Cake:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Watch the cake carefully to avoid burning the edges, as it cooks quickly.
  1. Turn the Cake onto a Towel:
  • While the cake is baking, heavily sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar using a sieve or sifter.
  • Once the cake is done, immediately turn the hot cake onto the prepared towel. Carefully remove the waxed paper.
  • Trim off any burnt or crusty edges.
  • Sprinkle more powdered sugar over the hot cake and quickly roll it up with the towel inside. Let the rolled cake cool completely (about 30 minutes).
  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • While the cake is cooling, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  1. Assemble the Roll:
  • Once the cake has cooled, gently unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
  • Re-roll the cake with the filling on the inside.
  1. Refrigerate or Freeze:
  • Wrap the pumpkin roll in waxed paper and then foil.
  • Refrigerate or freeze the roll until ready to serve.
  1. Serve:
  • For best results, slice the roll while it’s still slightly frozen into 1/3-inch thick slices.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Note: The cake slices cleanest when slightly frozen, ensuring neat and perfect servings every time!
