Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Confectioners’ sugar (for sprinkling)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for filling)
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Line a 10×15 inch jellyroll pan with waxed paper and grease. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
-
Mixing the Batter: In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for five minutes. Gradually mix in the pumpkin puree. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the pumpkin mixture.
-
Baking: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes.
-
Finishing Touch: After removing it from the oven, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, and carefully flip it onto a dish towel. Remove the waxed paper and sprinkle with more powdered sugar; then, roll it up like a jellyroll in the dish towel.
-
Chilling: Refrigerate for 1 hour or place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Unroll the cake, spread the filling evenly, and roll it again without the towel.
-
Storage: Place the pumpkin roll in a container or wrap it in Reynolds Wrap. You can refrigerate it or freeze it for up to 4 months.
