Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin puree.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts, if using.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
  8. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
  9. Starting at one short end, roll the cake up tightly in the towel. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
  11. Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  12. Reroll the cake tightly, without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  13. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and slice.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle with chopped pecans before serving.
