How to Make Mom's Simple Pumpkin Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until well blended.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla extract.
