Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

Well I seem to be having a week of technical difficulties.  Last night while posting this Pumpkin Roll I was informed that I couldn’t add any more photos to the blog.  It took 24 hours to expand my storage space so hopefully this will not be an issue again for a very long time.  Sincere apologies if you needed this recipe sooner!

I made a pumpkin roll (click here for recipe) at the request of my lovely cousin Suzanne.  Unfortunately we don’t live in the same state so I had to find another recipient for this dessert.  We had an office luncheon yesterday so I shared with the ladies.  It was very well received and I must say, it was much easier to make than I thought it would be.   Husband really liked it too.  He’s such a willing taste tester – isn’t that sweet?

Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
This recipe includes many items already in your kitchen pantry. 
~
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Grease a 17×11 jelly roll pan. 
Line with wax paper; grease and flour the paper.
In a bowl combine:  flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt.

In a separate bowl mix the eggs and white sugar.

Beat until eggs and sugar are thick.

Beat in the canned pumpkin.
Stir in the flour mixture.

Spread into the prepared pan.  Bake for 13 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched.

While the roll is baking, sprinkle a thin, cotton kitchen towel with powdered sugar.

Immediately turn cake onto prepared towel.  Slowly peel off the wax paper.

Roll the cake up in the towel, starting with the narrow end. 
Hello!!! Any cake in there?

Once the roll has cooled, prepare the filling by beating the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.

Unroll the cooled cake and remove towel. 
Spread cream cheese filling over cake and roll it up.
Store in a container with a lid and keep refrigerated. 
This roll is better after it’s been refrigerated for at least an hour. 
Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. 

This cake is light and spongy, and the filling is lightly sweet.

Doesn’t the Pumpkin Roll just look like Thanksgiving!

Have a blessed holiday with friends and family.  Thanks for stopping by!  Tricia
