Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (about 10 by 15 inches) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and spices.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thickened and lighter in color, then stir in the pumpkin puree.
Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and gently tap to release air bubbles.

Baking

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
While still hot, turn the cake out onto a clean towel dusted generously with powdered sugar, gently peel off the parchment paper.
Roll the cake up in the towel from the short end and let it cool completely in this position.

Filling and Serving

Once cooled, unroll the cake, spread the cream cheese filling evenly, and reroll without the towel.
Wrap it tightly and chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!

Notes

For a less sweet filling, use less powdered sugar. The pumpkin roll keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
