Easy Pumpkin Roll Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.67 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan well.
2. For the cake: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just smooth and no streaks of flour remain. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when touched. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
5. Invert the cake onto a smooth cotton (not terry cloth) tea towel. While the cake is still warm, roll it up together with the towel, starting from a short edge. Place seam-side down on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely for about 15 minutes.
6. While the cake cools, prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
7. Once the cake has cooled completely, gently unroll it and remove the towel. Spread the prepared cream cheese filling evenly over the entire surface of the cake, reaching all the way to the edges. Carefully roll the cake up again without the towel. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
8. To serve, dust the pumpkin roll generously with powdered sugar. Slice into approximately 10 equal portions and enjoy!
