Ingredients
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.
- Once the pumpkin layer is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it lightly with powdered sugar. Carefully flip the baked pumpkin layer onto the towel. Roll the pumpkin layer up with the towel to form a log and let it cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Once the pumpkin roll has cooled completely, carefully unroll it. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface.
- Gently re-roll the pumpkin roll with the frosting inside. Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve.
Notes
For a spiced frosting, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cream cheese frosting.
Use a gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe gluten-free.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
For a dairy-free option, substitute dairy-free cream cheese and butter.
For a chocolate twist, add chocolate chips to the batter for a chocolate-pumpkin combination.
