Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
⅔ cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
4. Combine dry ingredients with wet mixture and stir until just blended.
5. Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake for 13–15 minutes or until the cake springs back.
6. Meanwhile, prepare a clean kitchen towel dusted generously with powdered sugar.
7. Once baked, turn the cake out onto the towel, peel off parchment, and roll the cake with the towel. Let cool.
8. For the filling: beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
9. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling, and roll it back up (without the towel).
10. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
11. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Notes
Roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking.
Strain homemade pumpkin puree to avoid excess moisture.
Wipe your knife between slices for a clean swirl presentation.
