Pumpkin Roll
Ingredients
Makes 10 “ swiss roll - roughly 10 (1”) slices.
For the cake roll:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon all-spice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Icing:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temp
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, room temp
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉.
Line a 10” x 15” sheet pan with parchment paper - with the paper going up the sides so the batter doesn’t stick.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Using a stand-mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. Whip at high speed until lighter in color and fluffy - about 4 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree to the egg mixture and beat on a low speed until combined.
Add the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl and beat on a low speed until a smooth batter forms.
Smooth out the batter, evenly, onto the parchment paper with an offset spatula.
Place on the middle rack of the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch.
Place a clean kitchen towel on your counter and coat in a generous layer of powdered sugar. Once the cake roll has baked, transfer the warm cake onto the kitchen towel and roll. Let cool in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Prepare icing by combining all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and beating into smooth icing using a hand or stand mixer.
Unroll the cake from the kitchen towel, spread the icing on using an offset spatula and reroll the cake into a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Cut into slices and serve!
