How to Make Aunt Colleen's Pumpkin Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan; line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides to assist with rolling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs on high speed for 5 minutes, until pale and thick.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until combined.
  4. Gently whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Immediately sprinkle the warm cake with powdered sugar. Carefully loosen the edges from the pan using a thin spatula.
  10. Using the parchment paper overhang, gently roll up the cake from the long side while it's still warm. Let it cool completely.
  11. While the cake cools, prepare the filling (recipe below).
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully unroll it. Spread the filling evenly over the cake. Reroll the cake tightly, removing the parchment paper.
  13. Dust with powdered sugar and chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, cold, or frozen!
