Description
A sweet, spiced dessert rolled with creamy filling, perfect for the fall season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for the filling)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan. Line it with parchment paper, allowing extra to hang over the edges.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare a clean kitchen towel. Dust the cake with powdered sugar, then quickly invert it onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake and towel together, starting at one of the short ends, and allow it to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, make the filling by beating the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Once the cake is cool, gently unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the cake.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour. For a vegan version, use flax eggs and dairy-free cream cheese.
