Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare a jelly roll pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy and light in color.
  • Add pumpkin and vanilla to the egg mixture, and mix well.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
  • Peel off the parchment paper and gently roll the cake with the towel inside.
  • While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and roll it back tightly without the towel.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before slicing.
