Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully combined. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for even flavor. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients without overmixing to keep the cake light and tender.
  2. Bake and Roll the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into a prepared jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. While still warm, invert the cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, then gently roll the cake and towel together. Let it cool completely in the rolled shape.
  3. Make the Creamy Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue mixing until creamy. Blend in vanilla extract. The filling should be thick enough to spread easily.
  4. Assemble the Pumpkin Roll: Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel, pressing lightly to secure the shape and filling. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up the roll and meld the flavors.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake the cake to avoid dryness or cracking.
  • Roll the cake while still warm to help prevent cracking and hold its shape.
  • Use fresh ground spices for the brightest, most aromatic flavor.
  • Ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Chill the roll before slicing for clean, attractive pieces.
