1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting towel)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 10×15 jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
2. Lay a clean kitchen towel flat and dust it generously with powdered sugar.
3. In a bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
5. Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched.
8. Remove from oven and immediately invert cake onto the sugared towel.
9. Carefully peel off parchment and roll the cake up with the towel. Let it cool completely.
10. For the filling, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until fluffy.
11. Unroll the cooled cake, spread filling evenly, and re-roll without the towel.
12. Wrap the roll in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.
13. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling.
Dust the towel generously with powdered sugar to avoid sticking.
Let the cake cool completely before spreading the filling.
