Pumpkin Roll

pumpkinroll

This is one I usually make around Christmas time and then deliver to neighbors and friends.  I wrap the finished product in wax paper, then cover it with colored saran wrap and use crafting twine to add a home made gift tag and tie it with a bow.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup of flour

1/2 teaspoon each of baking soda and baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup of canned pumpkin


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet with sides and line ir with waxed paper. Put a light cooking spray on the wax paper and sprinkle a little powdered sugar on the paper as well.  Sprinkle towel with powdered sugar.

Mix the  flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon,nutmeg, and salt in small bowl. Beat eggs and sugar in a separate large bowl. When well mixed, add in the pumpkin. Stir in flour mixture. Spread into pan.

Bake about 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched. Take pumpkin roll out of pan right away by turning it on to a flour sack towel that is covered with a light layer of powdered sugar.  Carefully peel off wax paper. Roll up pumpkin roll  and towel together, then let cool.

FILLING:

8 ounces of cream cheese

1/4 cup of powdered sugar

6 Tablespoons of butter (softened)

1 teaspoon of vanilla

BEAT cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Carefully unroll the pumpkin roll and remove the towel. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin roll. Roll it up again . Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.

*  Once refrigerated, you can freeze these as well.  They keep for 60 days and thaw quickly for company, dinners, etc…  This recipe makes one but I have tripled this recipe to make three at a time and that has worked out well.

  1. This is similar to bouche de noel-my spelling is attrocious tonight. I love this dessert -are you coming to BEA in LA? Say Yes -we can go on a long bike ride together- and stay up all night reading books-seriously are you coming to LA?

  2. Having seen neighbours take baked goods to each other on several different American shows, I always wondered if that did happen – obviously it does. A custom I would love to see happen here in the UK.

    1. Good morning pettywitter, I am not sure if that is the norm around other areas – or even in my home town (the taking of baked good to neighbors). Where I live is the same home I grew up in. I have been on this property since I was three, left a few years from 18-29, came back after mom passed away because I did not have the heart to sell it. The people who’s homes are int his area, are all the ones who I grew up with. No one has moved. All of them are older, most of them I grew up with their kids. This is why I usually send a little something their way for Christmas. I have been very blessed to have great neighbors. (My aunt lives three houses from me!) 🙂

  3. It looks delicous! I’ve been seeing some great fall recipes at several blogs now! Did you hear that Libby’s said the canned pumpkin shortage is over, shelves will be stocked soon? One of those things I missed, I didn’t even realize there was a shortage! Have a great day! Rainy here, must be warmer than they thought.
