Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
- 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 nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Grease and flour the paper as well.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
4. Gently fold in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture, folding carefully until just combined.
6. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread to edges.
7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
8. While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully invert the cake onto the towel. Peel off the parchment paper.
9. Starting at the short end, roll the cake and towel together. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
10. For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until fluffy.
11. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface.
12. Roll the cake back up without the towel and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
