How to Make Best Pumpkin Roll Ever

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9x1-inch jelly roll pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy rolling.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and pumpkin puree.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by sprinkling it generously with powdered sugar.
  9. Once the cake is baked, immediately invert it onto the sugared towel, peeling off the parchment paper gently.
  10. Starting from the short end, carefully roll the cake up in the towel, jelly-roll style. Let cool completely.
  11. While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully unroll it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  13. Using the towel, tightly roll up the cake again, seam-side down. Place on a serving platter.
  14. Trim the ends of the roll and dust generously with powdered sugar.
  15. Cut into 1-inch thick slices and serve. Enjoy!
