A perfectly spiced pumpkin roll with a creamy, tangy cream cheese filling that’s ideal for fall desserts and holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 6 tablespoons (90g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
  6. While the sponge is still warm, carefully invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper, then gently roll the sponge (with the towel) from the short end. Let it cool completely.
  7. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  8. Unroll the cooled sponge and spread the filling evenly over the surface. Roll it back up, this time without the towel, and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the filling and make slicing easier.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serve.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter and filling.’, ‘Rolling the sponge in a towel while warm helps it hold its shape.’, ‘Be gentle when folding the dry ingredients to avoid deflating the batter.’, ‘Refrigerating the roll makes it easier to cut into neat slices.’, ‘Dust generously with powdered sugar to hide any cracks in the roll.’]
