Pumpkin Roll
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 23 cup pumpkin
- 34 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- extra powdered sugar, for dusting
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Generously grease a jelly roll pan, place a piece of wax paper on it and grease that as well.
- Place the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and blend with a mixer until creamy and sugar is dissolved.
- Add pumpkin, flour, baking soda and cinnamon.
- Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared jelly roll pan; sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over top of batter.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, spread a tea towel on a table or counter and sprinkle a generous amount of powdered sugar over the towel about the area of the jelly roll pan.
- (This works best by putting a couple of tablespoons of powdered sugar in a small strainer and shaking it gently over the area of the towel.)
- When the cake is done, turn out onto the sugared towel, carefully peel away the wax paper, and loosely roll the cake in the towel.
- Set aside for 20-25 minutes.
- While the rolled cake is resting, prepare the filling: beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and butter until creamy, then mix in vanilla.
- Unroll the cake and spread the filling evenly over entire surface to within about 1/2 inch from the edges.
- Re-roll the cake, firmly but gently so the filling doesn't get squeezed out making sure there are no air pockets inside.
- Wrap tightly in heavy aluminum foil and freeze.
- Slices best when frozen, allow slices to sit at room temp for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Will keep, frozen, for several months tightly wrapped.
