Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan (baking sheet with a rim) with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire surface and slightly overhangs the edges for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it to the edges with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.
While the cake bakes, lay a clean, lint-free kitchen towel on a flat surface. Generously sprinkle powdered sugar over the towel to prevent the cake from sticking.
Once the cake is done baking, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting from the short end, tightly roll the warm cake and towel together. Let the rolled cake cool completely on a wire rack.
To prepare the cream cheese filling, beat the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar (3/4 cup), and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it gently, being careful not to crack it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small margin around the edges.
Re-roll the cake (without the towel this time) as tightly as possible. Wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap, trim the ends for a neat presentation, and dust with additional powdered sugar if desired. Slice and enjoy!
