The Ultimate Pumpkin Roll Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 eggs eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.66 cup pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy again. Stir in the pumpkin puree and lemon juice. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet pumpkin mixture. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared jelly roll pan and sprinkle with your favorite nuts.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by generously sprinkling it with confectioner's sugar. Once the cake is done, immediately turn it out onto the sugared towel while it's still hot. Carefully roll the cake up in the towel, starting from one of the long ends, and let it cool completely to prevent cracking.
4. To prepare the cream cheese filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, and confectioners' sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
5. Once the cake has cooled completely, carefully unroll it and remove the kitchen towel. Spread the prepared cream cheese filling evenly over the surface of the cake. Gently re-roll the cake, being careful not to crack it. Wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the filling to set before slicing and serving.
