Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar in large bowl
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat eggs until frothy in separate bowl; add pumpkin puree and mix thoroughly
- Create Batter: Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined – don’t overmix
- Bake Cake: Pour batter into prepared pan, spread evenly. Bake 15 minutes until toothpick comes out clean
- Roll While Warm: Invert cake onto powdered sugar-dusted towel. Remove parchment and roll tightly while warm
- Make Filling: Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until completely smooth
- Final Assembly: Unroll cake gently, spread filling evenly, then roll back up without the towel
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better volume and smoother batter integration
- Roll the cake while still warm to prevent cracking when shaping
- Chill the finished roll for at least 2 hours before slicing for clean cuts
- Store covered in the refrigerator – flavors meld together and texture becomes more tender after 1-2 days
