How to make a pumpkin roll
- This is an incredibly easy recipe that starts by combining the pumpkin puree, cake flour, brown and white sugars, salt, and spices.
- Separate the eggs and add the egg yolks to the sugar and flour mixture.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes or until firm peaks form.
- Gently fold in the egg whites into the cake mixture. Do not overmix.
- Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, up over the edges as well, cover with cooking spray and bake at 375° for 15 minutes.
- While the cake is in the oven, beat together cream cheese, butter, and confectioners sugar until creamy and smooth. Set aside.
- Remove cake from the oven. Lift or slide parchment-lined cake onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool slightly. Roll cake inside parchment paper and set aside to cool completely.
- Unroll cooled cake and spread cream cheese filling, completely covering the cake.
- Re-roll cake without the parchment paper. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and store in the fridge until ready to slice and serve.
Top Tip:
For best results, allow the cake to set up in the fridge overnight.
Can I make this pumpkin roll in advance?
Pumpkin roll can be made up to 3 days in advance. Once it’s rolled tightly in plastic, wrap the pumpkin roll and refrigerate.
