Easy Pumpkin Roll

A deliciously spiced pumpkin cake rolled with a sweet cream cheese filling, perfect for fall celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, then gradually add the pumpkin puree until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 13-15 minutes.
  6. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and invert the cake onto it, rolling it up tightly to cool for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
  8. Unroll the cake, spread the cream cheese filling evenly across, and reroll it carefully.
  9. Chill the rolled cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

For added flavor, try mixing in chocolate chips or nuts. To prevent cracks, make sure not to overbake.
