Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup (150g) canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 package (8oz/225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale (about 3 minutes). Add the pumpkin puree and mix until combined.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be gentle to avoid deflating the batter.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  7. While the cake bakes, prepare a clean kitchen towel and generously sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
  8. When the cake is done, immediately remove it from the oven and carefully invert it onto the prepared towel. Peel off the parchment paper.
  9. Starting from a short end, gently roll the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Let it cool completely.
  10. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  11. Once the cake is cooled, carefully unroll it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  12. Re-roll the cake tightly (without the towel) and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  13. Slice and serve! Dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix when combining the wet and dry ingredients to keep the cake light and fluffy.’, ‘Use good-quality pumpkin puree for better flavor and texture.’, ‘Generously dust the towel with powdered sugar to prevent sticking while rolling.’, ‘Cool the cake completely before filling and rolling to avoid cracks.’, ‘Refrigerate the roll before slicing for easier handling.’]
