Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for filling

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Blend in the pumpkin puree and vanilla until combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  • Starting at one end, carefully roll the cake and the towel together, forming a log shape.
  • Let the rolled cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  • While the cake cools, make the cream cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
  • Unroll the cooled cake carefully and spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the surface.
  • Roll the cake back up without the towel, wrapping it in plastic wrap.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving to set the filling.
  • Slice into portions and enjoy your delicious pumpkin roll!
