Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Cake:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3 large eggs
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
For the Airy Whipped Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, grease, and dust with flour.
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and spices in a medium bowl.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale yellow. Gradually mix in pumpkin puree.
4. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
5. Bake 13-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched.
6. Sprinkle a kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Immediately invert cake onto towel and peel off parchment.
7. Roll cake and towel from short end. Cool completely on wire rack for about 1 hour.
8. For filling, beat cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then fold into cream cheese mixture with vanilla extract.
9. Unroll cooled cake, spread filling evenly leaving 1/2-inch border. Re-roll cake gently and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
10. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for smooth filling.
Do not overbake cake; it must be flexible for rolling.
Work quickly when transferring cake to towel.
Chill rolled cake thoroughly before slicing for clean cuts.
Toast whole spices and grind fresh for enhanced flavor.
Store tightly wrapped in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
