Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 6 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, then mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
  4. Immediately turn the cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll the cake and towel together and let cool.
  5. For the filling, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly. Roll it back up without the towel.
  7. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing.

Notes

  • Roll the cake while it's still warm to prevent cracking.
  • Refrigerate for easy slicing.
  • You can freeze the pumpkin roll for up to 2 months.
