Description
A classic pumpkin roll cake with cream cheese filling, perfect for fall desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
- While the cake bakes, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it with powdered sugar.
- When the cake is done, immediately turn it out onto the towel. Peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake tightly in the towel, starting from a short end. Let it cool completely.
- For the filling, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until creamy.
- Unroll the cooled cake. Spread the filling evenly over the cake.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Make sure the cake is completely cool before spreading the filling to avoid melting.
- You can dust the finished roll with additional powdered sugar for presentation.
