Description
A delightful and easy recipe for a Pumpkin Roll filled with cream cheese frosting, perfect for fall celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese, well-softened to room temp
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, well-softened to room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectioners sugar, sifted; plus more for dusting
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F and spray a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with parchment paper and then spray the parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar, and whisk to combine.
- Add the pumpkin puree and lemon juice, and whisk to combine.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir until just combined.
- Turn the batter out into the prepared jelly roll pan, and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the cake is still hot, starting at a short side, roll the cake up into a roll without the parchment paper. Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes at room temp, then place it loosely covered in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and then slowly add the confectioners’ sugar, beating until smooth and fluffy.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the frosting evenly over it.
- Roll the cake back up, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.
- Optionally dust with additional confectioners’ sugar, slice into 1 inch slices, and serve.
Notes
- Ensure to generously spray the parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- The cake bakes very quickly; start checking at 10 minutes.
- No need to turn it out into a kitchen dish towel while rolling.
