1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare your oven to 375F (190C) and ready a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients.
Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy, then incorporate the pumpkin and dry mixture.
Spread the batter into the pan and bake.
Invert the warm cake onto a towel, remove the parchment, and roll it up to cool.
Whip together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
Spread this delicious filling over the cooled cake and roll it up again.
Chill before serving.
Notes
Accurate Measuring: Ensure you measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a straight edge. Too much flour can result in a dry cake.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to a tougher cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Cooling is Crucial: Allowing the cake to cool completely before unrolling and frosting prevents the filling from melting and making the cake difficult to handle.
Softened Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and butter are truly softened but not melted for the smoothest, creamiest frosting. This will ensure no lumps.
