Easy Pumpkin Roll Recipe with Cream Cheese Filling

Ingredients

• 3 eggs eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.67 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup margarine
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan to prevent sticking.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, place the eggs. Beat on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and thick, approximately 5 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating thoroughly. Incorporate the pumpkin puree and lemon juice.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet egg mixture. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan, ensuring it reaches all corners.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, around 15 minutes. Be careful not to overbake the cake.
5. Turn the baked cake out onto a clean dish towel. Sprinkle the top evenly with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Carefully lift one long edge and roll the cake into a log, keeping it wrapped in the towel. Allow it to cool completely, for at least 15 minutes.
6. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, margarine, and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Gently unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up tightly and refrigerate it, seam-side down, until it is well set.
