Pumpkin Roll
This beautiful Pumpkin Roll is not only visually stunning, but it also brings together the warm flavors of pumpkin and spices, wrapped in a soft and moist cake. The cream cheese filling adds a rich tang that perfectly complements the sweetness of the pumpkin. Let’s get baking!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. While it’s still warm, carefully roll the cake up in the parchment paper from one short end to the other. Allow it to cool completely while wrapped in the paper.
- For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, and then roll it back up without the parchment paper.
- Place the Pumpkin Roll seam-side down on a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and serve!
