Ingredients
- For the Pumpkin Cake:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale (about 3–5 minutes). Mix in pumpkin puree, then fold in the dry ingredients gently.
- Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake 13–15 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately lift the cake out using the parchment, dust with powdered sugar, and flip onto a clean towel. Peel off the parchment and roll the cake with the towel from the short end. Let it cool completely.
- While the cake cools, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and roll it back up (without the towel). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Dust with powdered sugar just before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Roll the cake while hot to prevent cracking.
- Use thick, non-watery pumpkin puree for best results.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
- Mascarpone can replace cream cheese for a different filling.
- Freeze for up to 3 months (wrapped tightly) and thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
