...and had to make another on Friday because the extended family asked me for more!

It is simple and good.

Pumpkin Roll

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (to sprinkle on towel)

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 3 large eggs

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2/3 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin

• 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

• 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, at room temperature

• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

• 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Powdered sugar (optional for decoration)

Directions:

FOR CAKE:

PREHEAT oven to 375° F. Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with wax paper. Grease and flour paper. Sprinkle a thin, cotton kitchen towel with powdered sugar.

COMBINE flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in small bowl. Beat eggs and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until thick. Beat in pumpkin. Stir in flour mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts.

BAKE for 13 to 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched. (If using a dark-colored pan, begin checking for doneness at 11 minutes. Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with narrow end. Cool on wire rack.

FOR FILLING:

BEAT cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth. Carefully unroll cake. Spread cream cheese mixture over cake. Reroll cake. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

COOKING TIP:

Be sure to put enough powdered sugar on the towel when rolling up the cake so it will not stick.

Michael's notes: Omitted the walnuts. I also began checking the cake at 11 minutes. It was done, so I popped it onto the powdered sugar-coated towel. It was easy to roll up and looked just like the photo once it was filled.

Thanks emtd!

I'm thinking I could make it, then freeze it and pull it out on NewYears and then dust it with sugar

should be easy to transport if frozen. great idea.

 
Beautiful, and your photography is excellent! I used to make this years ago

think I will do it again this year.

 
Not my photography! The original website has a photo and I copied it!

I have to admit I was very pleased with the way the finished product looked. It was exactly like the picture! Very nice...
