Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in medium bowl
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then pumpkin puree
- Create Batter: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing
- Bake: Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean
- Initial Rolling: Cool 5 minutes, then roll cake in powdered sugar-dusted towel. Cool completely
- Make Filling: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy
- Final Assembly: Unroll cake, spread filling evenly, then re-roll without towel. Wrap and chill
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and smoother batter texture
- Don’t overbake the cake as it will crack when rolling – slight underbaking is better
- Roll the warm cake immediately to prevent cracking and create the perfect spiral shape
- Chill the finished roll for at least 2 hours before slicing for clean, beautiful cuts
