Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)

Equipment

  • 15x10-inch jelly roll pan
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • electric mixer
  • spatula
  • clean kitchen towel

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick. Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
  6. Immediately loosen edges and turn cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper. Roll cake and towel together starting from the short side. Cool completely.
  7. For the filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  8. Unroll cooled cake carefully, spread filling evenly, then re-roll without the towel. Wrap in plastic and chill before slicing.

Notes

For easier rolling, make sure to roll the cake while it’s still warm in a towel. Allow the cake to cool completely before filling to prevent melting. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel for an extra festive touch.
