Here's the recipe I've used since we learned to make it in high school home ec:

Pumpkin Roll

Ingredients:

Cake:

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (to sprinkle on towel)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pure pumpkin
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Filling:

  • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (optional for decoration)

FOR CAKE:


PREHEAT
oven to 375° F. Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with wax paper. Grease and flour paper. Sprinkle a thin, cotton kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
COMBINE flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in small bowl. Beat eggs and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until thick. Beat in pumpkin. Stir in flour mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts.
BAKE for 13 to 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched. (If using a dark-colored pan, begin checking for doneness at 11 minutes.) Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with narrow end. Cool on wire rack.

FOR FILLING:
BEAT
cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth. Carefully unroll cake. Spread cream cheese mixture over cake. Reroll cake. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

COOKING TIP:
Be sure to put enough powdered sugar on the towel when rolling up the cake so it will not stick.

I just knew I should have taken Home Economics instead of Physics. It would have been more useful.

Me too and cream cheese on cream cheese ain't so bad neither.

My brother made a chocolate variation of this…….made up a chocolate cake (as the pumpkin part) and added chocolate to the cream cheese filling part…….WOW!!  That was good too!

Jayne (or anyone else!) - Do you you remember from those 4-H classes if they taught us to make a sponge cake for any jelly roll kind of cake?  That foggy memory is rolling around in the old noggin somewhere.  Seems like they told us that we needed the pliability of a sponge cake for it to roll properly.

(Maybe that was from a nightmare…   Shroom  )

I know the key to making the pumpkin roll is to roll it up when it's hot and let it cool, then unroll it to fill it.  But it does have to be spongy.  I know the chocolate rolls they sell in the bakery are spongy too. So are those jelly roll cakes. 

Okay, I'm at work, having only coffee for breakfast and drooling all over the keyboard.  Toooo yummy!

I think the baking soda is what gives it the spongy texture.  I wonder if you could add that much baking soda to any cake mix to make it a cream cheese roll.  Can you imagine a strawberry cream cheese roll?? 

I have got to get off this thread..

Oh, a jelly roll filled with anything would be great!  But we have a coffee cake for breakfast…

Thanks, Cindy, for posting this recipe!  I always put the cake, rolled in the towel, in the refrig to cool…I believe my recipe said to do that but it's been so long I can't be sure…glad you reminded everyone about plenty of powder sugar so it doesn't stick!  I remember having powdered sugar everywhere but it's so worth it…gotta get to bakin'…ummm!
