Delicious Creamy Pumpkin Spice Roll Cake Recipe

Creamy Pumpkin Spice Roll Cake made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another large bowl, mix the eggs and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until pale and thick.
  • Add pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to the egg mixture and beat until well combined.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly, then bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto a clean kitchen towel that has been dusted with powdered sugar.
  • Peel off the parchment paper and carefully roll the cake with the towel, starting from one of the short ends.
  • Let the rolled cake cool completely at room temperature.
  • Prepare the filling by beating together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth.
  • Once the cake is cool, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling over the surface evenly.
  • Re-roll the cake gently and wrap it in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  • Slice and serve garnished with additional powdered sugar or whipped cream, if desired.
