Pumpkin Roll



With Thanksgiving coming up this week, I thought this is the perfect time to post this Pumpkin Roll recipe. This is always a crowd pleaser!!

Pumpkin Roll

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup pumpkin

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

½ tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

  ¾ cup flour

1 cup powdered sugar

8 oz cream cheese

4 TBLS butter

½ tsp vanilla

Beat eggs on high speed of mixer for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in pumpkin and lemon juice. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Fold that into pumpkin mixture. Spread on a greased and floured jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Turn out on a towel that has been sprinkled with powdered sugar. Roll cake and towel together and let cool. Mix together powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Unroll cake. Spread cream cheese mixture over the cake. Roll back up like a jelly roll. Wrap in wax paper. Chill. Serves 10.

So this is what it looks like all rolled in the towel. Start with the short end and roll up. Make sure the towel is completely covered with the powdered sugar.

This is what is looks like after it is cooled. I un-roll it, right before frosting.

And the finished product.
