Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
Spices and Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Frosting:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan by greasing and lining with parchment paper, then preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
- Create a smooth wet mixture by whisking pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla until fully integrated.
- Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, including baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour, then gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan, ensuring uniform thickness and distribution.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Immediately after removing from oven, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
- Carefully invert the hot cake onto the sugared towel, gently removing parchment paper.
- Roll the cake with the towel from the short end, allowing it to cool completely while maintaining its rolled shape.
- Prepare cream cheese filling by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and butter until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the surface.
- Tightly re-roll the cake without the towel, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Moisture Matters: Ensure pumpkin puree is well-drained to prevent excess liquid that could make the roll soggy and difficult to handle.
- Precise Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light, tender texture and prevent a tough, dense cake roll.
- Temperature Control: Allow the rolled cake to cool completely before adding filling to prevent melting and ensure clean, crisp layers.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for those with wheat sensitivities, keeping the same measurement.
