Description
A moist, spiced pumpkin sponge cake filled with luscious cream cheese frosting, rolled into a beautiful spiral. This bakery-style dessert is surprisingly easy to make and perfect for fall gatherings or holiday tables.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
⅔ cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Powdered sugar for dusting towel and finished roll
8 oz cream cheese softened
¼ cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla; mix well. Fold in the dry ingredients gently.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 13–15 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.
4. Turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper. Gently roll the cake with the towel from the short end. Cool completely.
5. Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
6. Unroll the cooled cake carefully. Spread the filling evenly. Re-roll (without the towel), wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
7. Dust the top with powdered sugar, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
Roll the cake while warm to avoid cracking.
Use parchment paper and a towel dusted with powdered sugar for a smooth release.
Chill the filled roll for at least 1 hour for clean slices.
