This pumpkin roll cake recipe is a great snack to serve to visitors. It’s simple yet fancy at the same time. And it tastes really great. If you like, you can serve this with a dollop of homemade whipped cream. It’s a dessert that anyone, ANYONE, will surely love. You don’t have to worry about people not liking it. It’s a sure winner! My family loves this with whipped cream. But if you’re not a fan of too much richness, you can opt to use confectioners’ sugar.
It will taste great either way.
Ingredients
3 Eggland’s eggs
1 cup Domino white sugar
2/3 cup Libby’s canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons McCormick ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon Clabber Girl baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Morton salt
1/4 teaspoon McCormick ground nutmeg
1 cup chopped Fisher walnuts
6 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1 cup Domino confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup Land O Lakes butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon McCormick vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs on high for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in white sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Add pumpkin and lemon juice.
In another bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg; fold into the pumpkin mixture.
Grease a 15x10x1 inch baking pan; line with waxed paper. Grease and flour the paper. Spread batter into pan; sprinkle with walnuts.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
Immediately turn out onto a linen towel dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Peel off paper and roll cake up in the towel, starting with the short end. Cool.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, butter, and vanilla until fluffy.
Carefully unroll the cake. Spread filling over cake to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up again. Cover and chill until serving. Dust with additional confectioners’ sugar, if desired.

Quick Tip: Spray the pan with regular Pam, line it with wax paper, spray the wax paper with Pam for baking (with flour) and the cake will be easy to remove from the pan.
