We eat pumpkin rolls year ’round in my household. How about yours?
Take a look at what my friend Barbara from the Bless Us O Lord food blog had to say about this magnificent recipe:
It is really not a difficult procedure, but the steps can be daunting if you have never done them. And rolling a cake up in a towel may seem pretty strange if you’ve never seen how it turns out in the end.
I only have one warning about this cake. Do not attempt this cake if you do not have wax paper or parchment. It will stick and you will be sad. Grab some the next time you’re at the store and try the cake then.
Barbara speaks the truth. Waxed paper is a must for this recipe to be successful.
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup Domino sugar
⅔ cup Libby’s pumpkin
1 t. lemon juice
¾ cup Gold Medal flour
1 t. baking powder
2 t. McCormick pumpkin pie spice
½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
8 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
4 t. Kerrygold butter
1 t. vanilla
Instructions
Grease a 10 x 15 rimmed baking sheet and line with waxed paper.
Grease the waxed paper.

Pour mixture onto waxed cookie sheet.

The baked cake (duh)
Remove from oven and immediately cover with clean dishtowel.
Flipped on a dishtowel with wax paper still attached.
Flip cake onto counter with towel under.
Remove waxed paper.
Trim edges with a sharp serrated knife.
All edges trimmed. The next picture is a close-up so you can see how much I trim — just the very crispest part of the edge.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Roll towel and cake up like a jellyroll, rolling from the shortest side.
Let cool.
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla until creamy
and spread on cooled cake (unroll).
Blurry picture, but I wanted you to see what it looks like when you unroll it.
Re-roll and cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate or freeze.
