Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.67 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for filling)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and mix until well combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly over the prepared jelly roll pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly touched.
While the cake is baking, lay out a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and generously dust it with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Remove the cake from the oven and immediately loosen the edges with a knife. Invert the warm cake onto the prepared sugar-dusted towel. Carefully remove the parchment paper.
Starting at the narrow end, roll the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Let the rolled cake cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake is completely cool, carefully unroll it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the surface, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Gently re-roll the cake (without the towel) as tightly as possible. Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar and slice into 1-inch pieces. Serve chilled.
