Homemade Pumpkin Roll

A delightful holiday treat!
Prep Time25 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
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.
