Pumpkin Roll

I love these kind of cakes, but I've always been intimidated to try to make one myself... but after watching a super helpful video and looking at a step-by-step photo tutorial, I decided to give this a try as one of my Thanksgiving desserts this year. It turned out moist and delicious! The tangy cream cheese filling is the perfect compliment to the perfectly spiced cake. I will definitely be making this into a holiday tradition!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
To make the pumpkin roll: Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt in medium bowl until combined.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar for 1 minute, until thick. Add in the vanilla and pumpkin and whisk until just combined. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula and stir together until just combined.
- 3
Line a 15x10 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving additional parchment paper hanging off the sides so you can easily lift the cake out after baking. Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared pan.
- 4
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when touched. Carefully lift the parchment paper and cake onto a flat, heat-safe surface. Then slowly, use your hands to roll the cake (short end to other short end) until it is completely rolled up (careful, the cake will be very hot!).
- 5
Transfer the rolled cake to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- 6
To make the cream cheese filling : While cake is cooling, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla until smooth. If the filling is too thin, add a small amount more of powdered sugar. If the filling is too thick, add 1 or 2 tsp. of water. You want the filling to be easy to spread, but you don't want it to be too runny or it will ooze out of the cake as you re-roll it.
- 7
Once the cake is cooled to room temperature, transfer the cake roll to a flat surface and carefully unroll it until it is flat again (it's ok if the edges curl up slightly). Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over cake, leaving a 3/4 inch border on all sides.
- 8
Then, carefully re-roll the cake, gently peeling away the parchment paper as you roll until you can completely remove and discard it.
- 9
Tightly wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. I made mine the day before and chilled it overnight.
- 10
When ready to serve: Remove the pumpkin roll from the fridge and carefully unwrap. Transfer it onto a cutting board or a serving dish. Lightly dust with additional powdered sugar, then slice carefully with a sharp, serrated knife and serve.
- 11
Re-wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
