Ingredients
Cake
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Filling
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar plus extra for dusting
Instructions
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease the top of the parchment with butter. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the eggs and sugar, mixing on medium until thoroughly combined. Add in pumpkin and mix well. With mixer off, add in flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. Turn mixer on low and stir to combine. Pour batter onto prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 15 minutes. As soon as cake is removed from the oven, spread a clean tea towel that has been dusted with powdered sugar over the cake and place the bottom of another baking sheet over top. With oven mitts protecting your hands, hold both baking sheets firmly together and flip the cake over onto the tea towel. Remove the original baking sheet and peel off the parchment paper. Carefully and tightly roll up the cake and towel together, starting with the narrow end. Place in the refrigerator until cool.
Prepare the Filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter, cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar and beat on medium-high until creamy.
Assemble
- When cake is completely cooled, carefully unroll it from the towel. Spread filling onto the cake, leaving about ¼ inch around edges. Re-roll cake (without the towel) and refrigerate for about an hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.

Notes
- Cake can be made ahead of time and frozen up to one month. Remove about an hour before serving to allow cake to reach room temperature
- Do not use a thick or fluffy kitchen towel for this, as you do not want lint in your pumpkin roll. Use a tea towel or flour sack towel
