Every fall I make pumpkin rolls. They are always a hit and so easy to do. I usually make a couple at a time and keep them in the freezer. You can pull them out for a party, dinner, or a sweet treat! The cake is moist and the cream cheese filling is delicious, plus the spirals look cool! Give this recipe a go! I am sure it will be a fall favorite.
Pumpkin Cake Roll
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp lemon juice
¾ cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsps cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp salt
Filling
1 cup powdered sugar
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese
4 T butter
½ tsp vanilla
Beat eggs and sugar together. Add pumpkin and lemon juice and mix together. In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Fold into pumpkin mixture.
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray. Spread pumpkin mixture evenly in pan. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Turn out immediately onto a clean dishtowel that has been sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment paper. Sprinkle more powdered sugar on top of cake. Start at one end, carefully rolling towel and cake together. Cool on countertop or in fridge.
Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Gently unroll cake, remove the towel. Spread filling evenly over cake. Roll back up! Cover with foil and put in fridge or freezer. Best when made a day ahead.
**I always freeze them and pull them out when needed, they freeze beautifully!**
ENJOY!!

love the couch… reminds me of ours and makes me miss it.
I haven’t been too successful with jellyroll type things, I usually end up having to coat the outside in whipped cream to hide the flaws…
Anything with cream cheese frosting is pretty awesome though…

These are one of our favorite desserts for Thanksgiving. My son loves to help roll them up and slice them. We love to give them to friends for the holidays, too. But oh my goodness, I’ve not tried freezing them! You are so smart!
Maria, These look absolutely scrumptious! I’ve never had them before but I love anything pumpkin and I love that you can make them ahead of time and then, freeze them. So many delicious recipes to try, so little time!!

HI 🙂 This recipe sounds delicious! Is there something to substitute for the lemon? I’m allergic to lemon so can’t have it. Would it taste okay if the lemon was left out? Would love your opinion. Thanks so much!
this is one of the best things i have ever eaten! i made it last week and i think it will be the hit of the season! please do yourself a favor and go make this right now!
I’ve made this before & used a cookie sheet & I think wax paper, also added chopped walnuts. It was the Bomb!
A friend gave me a recipe many years ago. It called to be rolled in chopped Walnuts and do every year.
