Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
    • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
    • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • For the Filling:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and dust with a sprinkle of powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. This will create a spiced foundation for your cake.

Step 3: Combine Eggs and Sugar

In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick and well combined. Stir in the canned pumpkin to infuse that iconic fall flavor.

Step 4: Merge the Mixtures

Combine the flour mixture with the pumpkin blend and mix until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

Bake the cake for about 13-15 minutes, or until it springs back when touched lightly.

Step 6: Roll the Cake

Immediately after baking, turn the cake out onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake up with the towel from short end to short end. Let it cool completely.

Step 7: Prepare the Filling

For the filling, beat together cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 8: Assemble the Cake

Once the cake is completely cooled, unroll it gently and spread the filling evenly over the surface. Re-roll the cake without the towel, ensuring the filling stays inside. Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for at least one hour.

Step 9: Serve the Cake

Slice the chilled cake into pieces, serve, and watch it disappear at your next fall gathering!

Notes

Note 1: Dusting the Towel

Ensure your towel is liberally dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking during the rolling process.

Note 2: Room Temperature Ingredients

Make sure that the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.

Note 3: Chilling Time

Allowing the rolled cake to chill in the fridge helps to set the filling and makes slicing easier.

Note 4: Serving Suggestions

This cake pairs beautifully with a cup of warm cider or coffee, perfect for fall gatherings.
