Prep Time25 minutes

Cook Time15 minutes

Servings - 10 servings

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup pumpkin (about half of a can)
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup finely chopped walnuts, optional

Cream Cheese Frosting

• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Grease and flour the parchment paper. (A 15×10 size pan works great.)
• Beat eggs on high in a stand mixer for 5 minutes. Slowly add in sugar.
• Stir in pumpkin. Mix until well blended.
• Mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Add to batter. Mix thoroughly.
• If you are adding in the walnuts, then stir them in gently at this time.
• Pour batter evenly onto the parchment covered baking sheet.
• Bake 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
• Immediately remove the pumpkin roll from the pan and lay it on a tea towel sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar, parchment side up so you can remove the paper. Carefully remove the parchment paper.
• Roll up the hot pumpkin roll in a tea towel to cool. Roll up starting on the short side. The tea towel keeps the pumpkin roll from sticking together.
• Prepare cream cheese frosting by beating all frosting ingredients in stand mixer until smooth.
• Gently unroll pumpkin roll once completely cooled leaving it on the towel. Take your time to keep it from cracking.
• Spread frosting over pumpkin roll.
• Gently roll back up (without the tea towel) and place on serving platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Optional: sprinkle powdered sugar over top of pumpkin roll prior to serving.
