How to Make Pumpkin Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large (17 x 11 inch) cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly grease the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  4. Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to form a thin rectangle. Sprinkle with extra nuts, if desired.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar. Carefully invert the cake onto the powdered sugar-dusted towel, peeling off the parchment paper.
  7. Starting from the short end, gently roll the cake and the towel together, and let cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
  8. Once cooled, carefully unroll the cake and remove the towel.
  9. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
  11. Reroll the cake tightly.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before slicing and serving.
