Cream Cheese Pumpkin Roll

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Filling:
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line with wax paper.

Beat eggs and white sugar in a large bowl until well blended; stir in 2/3 cup pumpkin puree.

Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in another bowl; stir into egg mixture until just blended. Pour mixture into prepared jelly roll pan.

Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn cake out onto a clean towel. Remove and discard wax paper. Roll cake up into the towel, starting with the short end. Cool.

Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter, 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth.

Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Place and unroll cake over plastic and spread with prepared filling. Re-roll cake and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate, seam-side down, until chilled, about 2 hours.
