Homemade Pumpkin Roll
A delightful holiday treat!
Servings - 10 servings
Ingredients
- 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.
