Description

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Roll:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Powdered sugar, for dusting

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Prep Your Battle Station: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray lightly.

2. Combine the Dry Goods: Whisk together flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

3. Whip the Eggs and Sugar: Beat eggs and granulated sugar on high speed 2-3 minutes until thick, pale, and ribbon-like.

4. Bring It All Together: Fold in pumpkin puree and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients over mixture and fold until just combined.

5. Bake It: Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake 12-15 minutes until top springs back.

6. The Critical Roll: Dust a clean towel with powdered sugar. Invert hot cake onto towel and peel off parchment. Roll cake with towel inside; cool completely.

7. Make the Filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth.

8. The Final Assembly: Unroll cooled cake, spread filling leaving border, roll cake without towel, wrap in plastic, refrigerate at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

Refrigerate pumpkin roll; best served cold.

Wrap tightly or store in airtight container; keep up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Avoid overbaking to prevent cracking.

Roll cake while hot to maintain flexibility.

Ensure cream cheese and butter are softened to prevent lumpy filling.

Optional variations: spice swaps, nuts, maple syrup, chocolate, or alternative fillings.
