Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting (garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Grease the paper and lightly flour it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick. Add canned pumpkin and mix well.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- Immediately roll the warm cake in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
- To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake is cool, unroll it gently. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
- Re-roll the cake without the towel and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Be sure to roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking.
- Use a clean kitchen towel generously dusted with powdered sugar to avoid sticking.
- You can make this dessert a day ahead and refrigerate it for best results.
