Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Cake:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
For Garnish:
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan, line it with parchment paper, grease the paper, and lightly sprinkle with flour.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick. Stir in canned pumpkin and gradually add the dry ingredients.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 13-15 minutes. While still warm, roll the cake in a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar and let it cool.
- Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling, then re-roll the cake without the towel.
- Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
Notes
Roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking.
If freezing, wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It will stay fresh for up to 1 month in the freezer.
Ensure you use pure canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, for the perfect consistency.
