Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.67 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar (for buttercream)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until thick and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel and generously dust it with powdered sugar. This will prevent the cake from sticking when rolling.
Once the cake is baked, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting at one of the short ends, roll the cake up with the towel into a spiral. Let it cool completely on a wire rack, seam-side down.
To make the ginger buttercream, beat the softened butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Mix in grated ginger and heavy cream until light and fluffy.
Once the cake is completely cool, gently unroll it. Spread the buttercream evenly over the surface. Avoid spreading too close to the edges, as it may squeeze out when rolling.
Carefully re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving platter. Dust the top with powdered sugar for decoration.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
