Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is light in color. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
- Remove the cake from the oven and immediately flip it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully remove the parchment paper and roll the cake tightly in the towel. Let it cool completely.
Filling
- While the cake cools, prepare the filling by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Assembly
- Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the rolled cake for at least an hour to set the filling.
- When ready to serve, slice off the ends for a clean look and cut into slices to enjoy.
Notes
Don't overmix the batter; cool properly to maintain shape. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier blending.
