Ingredients
Scale
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Mix in pumpkin puree and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Immediately invert the cake onto a clean towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper. Roll up the cake in the towel and let it cool completely.
Beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Carefully unroll the cake. Spread the filling evenly, then re-roll without the towel.
Wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
