Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • Filling: Cream cheese (8 oz), 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a 15ร—10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, spices, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Mix in vanilla and pumpkin puree.
  4. Gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 13-15 minutes until cake springs back.
  6. While warm, invert the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel. Carefully peel away parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel. Let cool completely.
  7. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Unroll cooled cake gently, spread filling evenly, then re-roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter.
  • Be careful not to overbake to prevent cracking.
  • Refrigerate the assembled roll to set the cream cheese filling.
