Ingredients:
For the Pumpkin Cake:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
1/2 tsp baking powder 🧁
1/2 tsp baking soda 🧁
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 🌿
1/2 tsp ground cloves 🌿
1/4 tsp salt 🧂
3 large eggs 🥚
1 cup granulated sugar 🧂
2/3 cup canned pumpkin 🎃
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1 cup powdered sugar 🍚
6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 🧈
1 tsp vanilla extract 🍨
For Garnish:
Powdered sugar for dusting 🍚
Directions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) 🔥. Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Grease the paper and sprinkle it lightly with flour 🌾.
Prepare the Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt 🌿🧂. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick. Add in the canned pumpkin and mix well 🎃. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when touched 🕒. While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely while rolled up.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy 🧁.
Assemble the Pumpkin Roll: Once the cake has cooled, gently unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake. Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
Serve and Garnish: Dust the pumpkin roll with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch 🍚. Slice and enjoy this festive dessert!
