Ingredients

• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.67 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for rolling)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the top springs back when gently touched.

Step 6

While the cake bakes, lay a thin kitchen towel flat on the counter and dust it generously with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Step 7

When the cake is done, immediately loosen it from the edges of the pan and carefully invert it onto the sugared towel. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake tightly from the short end using the towel. Allow it to cool completely in the rolled position, about 1 hour.

Step 8

To make the filling, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Once the cake is completely cool, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Reroll the cake (without the towel) tightly. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Step 11

When ready to serve, dust the cake roll with powdered sugar, slice, and enjoy!
