Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin puree.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts, if using.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  8. When the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
  9. Starting at one short end, roll up the cake and towel together. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  11. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  12. Assemble the Roll: Carefully unroll the cooled cake.
  13. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  14. Reroll the cake tightly, without the towel.
  15. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  16. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of rum or bourbon to the cream cheese filling. You can also toast the nuts before sprinkling them on the cake for a nuttier flavor.
