Ingredients
Scale
For the cake:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
For the filling:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until thick and light in color. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until smooth.
- Bake the cake: Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
- Roll the cake: While still warm, turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Gently roll the cake, starting from one short side, into the towel to form a log. Let it cool completely.
- Make the filling: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the cake: Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, then gently roll it back up without the towel.
- Chill: Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and slice into beautiful swirls!
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cool before spreading the filling to prevent it from melting.
- Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
