Indulge in the cozy flavors of autumn with this easy, 3-ingredient Pumpkin Roll. This classic dessert features a moist pumpkin cake rolled up with a creamy filling, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Ingredients
– 3 eggs
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper.
2. – In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. – Stir in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
4. – In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
5. – Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
6. – Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
7. – Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
8. – While the cake is baking, place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface. Dust the towel with powdered sugar.
9. – When the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
10. – Starting from the short end, tightly roll up the cake in the towel. Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
11. – In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
12. – Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
13. – Reroll the cake without the towel and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
14. – Dust the top of the roll with additional powdered sugar, if desired.
15. – Chill the pumpkin roll for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
For best results, use a fresh can of pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The cake can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months.
