Pumpkin Roll Cake
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pure pumpkin
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for garnish
- 10 tablespoons English toffee pieces (about 2/3 cup), plus more for garnish
- 1 1/2 cups store-bought caramel sauce, warmed, for garnish
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.
- Sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger and allspice into a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar and brown sugar with a mixer until very thick.
- Add the pumpkin and beat on low speed until incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients and beat until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with a mixer until stiff but not dry.
- Fold the egg whites into the cake batter with a rubber spatula until most of the white streaks are gone.
- Spread the batter on the sheet pan and smooth the top.
- Bake until a tester comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
- While the cake is hot, dust generously with confectioners' sugar.
- Loosen the edges and turn the cake out onto a kitchen towel; peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one long side, roll up the cake around the towel.
- Turn seam-side down, put on the baking sheet and transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Make the filling: Combine the gelatin and rum in a saucepan over low heat and stir until the gelatin dissolves.
- Let cool.
- Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until peaks form.
- Fold in the gelatin mixture and 6 tablespoons toffee pieces.
- To assemble, unroll the cake and sprinkle with the remaining 4 tablespoons toffee pieces.
- Spread the cream filling over the toffee.
- Roll the cake back up to encase the filling.
- Place the cake seam-side down on a platter and trim the ends.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the cake crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices.
- Spoon some warm caramel sauce and toffee pieces on top.
