Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your pan.

  • Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, then mix well.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before flipping onto a kitchen towel, and carefully peeling off the parchment paper.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface.
  • Re-roll the cake without the towel, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Slice and serve the pumpkin roll, dusting with powdered sugar if desired.
