Classic Pumpkin Roll
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2/3 cups Pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Flour
- Confectioners Sugar, As Needed For Sprinkling
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
- In a large bowl, beat eggs together. Add sugar, pumpkin, baking soda, cinnamon and flour to eggs. Mix well.
- Grease jelly roll pan or line with parchment paper. Spread mixture on pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 375u0b0F. Let stand for about 3 minutes before taking out of pan.
- Turn upside down on a lint-free towel that you have sprinkled with confectioners sugar (to prevent sticking). Roll up into the towel like a jelly roll. Let cool for 45 minutes.
- Unroll carefully and spread with cream cheese filling (see below). Roll up again in wax paper, then refrigerate.
- For the cream cheese filling, simply beat all the filling ingredients until creamed.
- Notes:
- 1. It is very important to use the proper size jelly roll pan for this to work. I use a 15x17 inch jelly roll pan with no sides. Using a smaller pan makes the cake part too thick, the cake needs to be on the thinner side or it will crack when rolling.
- 2. If the ends come out of the oven too hard or burnt, use a pizza cutter to trim off the hard edges.
- 3. Use lots of confectioners sugar on the towel to prevent the cake from sticking.
- 4. When filling with cream cheese, spread leaving 1 inch around the borders.
