Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl on high speed until fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, then fold in the dry ingredients until just blended.
  5. Pour the batter into the jelly roll pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Roll the cake in a clean kitchen towel after cooling for 5 minutes.
  7. Make the filling by beating cream cheese and butter, adding powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly before rolling it back up.
  9. Chill the rolled cake wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Notes

Let the cake cool completely before filling for easier rolling and to avoid cracks.
