Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Other:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Prepare the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light in color. Mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Roll the cake: Lay out a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Once the cake is baked, loosen the edges, invert it onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll the cake up in the towel. Let it cool.
- Prepare the filling: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Unroll the cake, spread the filling, roll it back up, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
Notes
- For cleaner slices, chill the roll thoroughly before cutting.
- You can make this a day ahead and store it in the fridge.
- Pumpkin roll also freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month.
