Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine with dry ingredients without overmixing.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool the cake slightly before inverting onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Roll it up while it's still warm.
  6. For the filling, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Unroll the cooled cake and spread filling evenly before rolling it back up without the towel.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
