Pumpkin Roll~~#PumpkinWeek

This is the 3rd day of Pumpkin week and I thought I would bring something sweet to the table. Everyone has their favorite pumpkin roll recipe and I thought I would share mine with you today. This has been a fun event for me, especially since I love pumpkin.  When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved pumpkin pie the entire time.

Pumpkin Pie is still my favorite and although I am not sharing it with you today it is liable to show up later this week (tomorrow, hint, hint) so stay tuned.

These cookie sheets with sides are also called Jelly Roll Pans.

Spray the pan with baking spray.

Line with parchment paper and spray again with baking spray.

Make your batter and spread it evenly in the pan.

Bake for only 15 minutes or less as you will see when I remove mine from the oven.

While the cake is baking, spread a clean linen towel onto your counter.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

This is the cake after 15 minutes.

I would check it after 13 minutes next time.

I was worried that it was over done but I cut off the ends and the edges and it was fine.

Immediately flip onto the sugared towel and remove the parchment paper.

Roll up starting with short side and leave to cool in the towel.

While the cake is cooling make the frosting.

Once the cake is cool, unroll and spread with the frosting.

I cut off the left edge of this cake prior to rolling it back up with the frosting.

Roll the cake back up around the frosting.

Cut off the ends to even them up.

Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Roll

3 eggs

1 c. sugar

2/3 c. pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

3/4 c. unbleached all purpose flour

1/2 t. cinnamon

1 t. baking soda

Powdered Sugar for sprinkling

Filling

1 c. powdered sugar

1 t. vanilla

2 T. butter, softened

1 (8oz) pkg Neufchatel Cheese

Grease a 15x10x1" jelly roll pan, line with parchment paper and then spray with baking spray.  In large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat eggs on high speed for 4-5 minutes.  Gradually add sugar and pumpkin alternating between each addition. Add the remaining ingredients, except for powdered sugar, and fold in on low speed. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.  Bake in a preheated 375* oven for 12-15 minutes or until it springs back when lightly touched.

While cake is baking, sprinkle a linen kitchen towel with powdered sugar.  When cake is finished baking turn immediately onto the towel and remove parchment paper.  Roll up in towel, starting at the short end.  Allow to cool while wrapped in towel.

While cake is cooling, make the filling by beating together all ingredients until smooth.

Carefully unroll the cake.  Spread filling over the cake and roll up again.  Trim ends so that they are even,  Chill until ready to serve.  Print Recipe
