Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat together the sugar, pumpkin puree, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in the nuts, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it generously with powdered sugar.
  9. Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  10. Starting at one short end, roll up the cake and towel together. Let cool completely.
  11. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  12. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  13. Once the cake is completely cooled, carefully unroll it.
  14. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  15. Roll the cake back up tightly, without the towel.
  16. Wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  17. Before serving, dust the roll with additional powdered sugar, if desired.
  18. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra festive touch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the cream cheese filling before rolling up the cake.
