Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1-inch baking pan, ensuring the cake won’t stick. |
| 2 | Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for about five minutes until they are light and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar, continuing to beat until well combined. |
| 3 | Incorporate Ingredients: Stir in the pumpkin puree, lemon juice, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until the batter is smooth and well-mixed. |
| 4 | Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, then sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 5 | Roll the Cake: While the cake is baking, lay out a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle it generously with powdered sugar. Once the cake is done, immediately turn it out onto the towel. Carefully roll up the cake and towel together, starting from the short end. This helps the cake maintain its shape without cracking. Let it cool completely. |
| 6 | Prepare Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. |
| 7 | Fill the Cake: Gently unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Carefully roll the cake back up, without the towel this time. |
| 8 | Chill: Wrap the cake roll in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps the filling set and makes the cake easier to slice. |
| 9 | Serve: Once chilled, slice the pumpkin cake roll into individual servings and enjoy! Optionally, you can dust the top with additional powdered sugar or garnish with whipped cream and chopped nuts for extra flair. |
Tips:
- To ensure a moist and tender cake, be careful not to overbake. Keep an eye on it and remove it from the oven as soon as a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- When rolling the cake, using a double-folded towel at the beginning helps create a larger center, making it easier to roll and preventing cracks.
- For a decorative touch, drizzle caramel sauce or sprinkle cinnamon on top before serving.
- This cake roll can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days before serving. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent it from drying out.
