Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in the pumpkin and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Roll the Cake: Once done, immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake tightly in the towel. Let it cool completely in this position.
- Prepare the Filling: While the cake cools, beat together the cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: Once the cake is cool, unroll it gently and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel, and wrap it in plastic wrap.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pumpkin roll for at least one hour to set the filling before slicing.
