Pumpkin roll!!

There’s something truly magical about fall desserts, and this Pumpkin Roll takes the cake—quite literally! Imagine a beautifully spiced pumpkin sponge cake, rolled to perfection and layered with a thick, velvety cream cheese frosting. It’s indulgent, stunning, and surprisingly easy to make. If you’re looking for a dessert that captures the essence of autumn while wowing your friends and family, this is it.

For the longest time, I used to think pumpkin rolls were reserved for expert bakers. The idea of rolling a delicate cake without cracking seemed impossible, but let me tell you—it’s not only doable, but it’s also way easier than it looks. With a little guidance and a few simple tricks, you’ll have a dessert that’s as delicious as it is impressive.

What makes this Pumpkin Roll special?
First, let’s talk about the cake itself. It’s made with the perfect balance of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, combined with the natural sweetness of pumpkin. The result is a soft, moist sponge that practically melts in your mouth. The subtle pumpkin flavor pairs beautifully with the frosting, creating a harmony of sweet, tangy, and spiced flavors.

And that cream cheese frosting? It’s thick, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. Made with real cream cheese, a touch of vanilla, and a hint of powdered sugar, it’s the perfect filling to complement the rich pumpkin cake. When you roll it all together, the frosting creates a stunning spiral that’s both visually striking and irresistibly delicious.

Why it’s the perfect fall dessert:

• It’s a crowd-pleaser that feels festive and special.

• The warm spices and pumpkin make it quintessentially autumnal.

• It’s surprisingly simple to prepare, making it ideal for both novice and experienced bakers.

Tips for making the perfect Pumpkin Roll:

1. Prepare the pan: Use parchment paper to ensure the cake doesn’t stick and rolls easily.

2. Roll it warm: Rolling the cake while it’s still warm prevents cracks and helps it hold its shape.

3. Chill time is key: Allow the roll to chill thoroughly before slicing to maintain its structure and ensure clean, beautiful cuts.

Whether you’re hosting a fall gathering, celebrating Thanksgiving, or just treating yourself to something sweet, this Pumpkin Roll is the perfect addition to your dessert table. It’s elegant enough to impress guests but simple enough to make on a cozy weekend at home.

Serve it with a hot cup of coffee or a spiced chai latte, and watch as everyone reaches for seconds. Trust me, this dessert is destined to become a new fall favorite. So, roll up your sleeves, get your baking tools ready, and enjoy the sweet taste of autumn with this show-stopping Pumpkin Roll. 🎃🍁❤️

INGREDIENTS 

Roll

• 1 cup all purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 3 eggs

• 3/4 cup pumpkin puree

• 1 cup white sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla

Filling

• 8oz cream cheese, softened

• 4 tbsp butter, softened

• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTION

• Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with a large piece of parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with nonstick spray. I used an 11 x 15 baking sheet but you can use bigger and just not spread the batter all the way. You want a little parchment paper sticking up at the ends so you can lift it once cooked.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.

• In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together eggs and pumpkin. Add sugar and vanilla beat until creamy. Slowly add in dry ingredients to wet ingredients until all combined.

• Pour batter into greased and parchment lined baking sheet. Spread evenly into all corners.

• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

• Immediately lift parchment paper and cake out of pan and lay on heat safe surface. Begin rolling from the narrow shorter side, including the parchment paper. It will be hot so use a towel to help roll if necessary. Roll until cake and parchment paper are in a log.

• Move log to cookie cooling rack and let cool completely.

• While cooking, make frosting by beating together all frosting ingredients.

• Once cake has cooled, unroll slowly. Add frosting evenly to cake using a frosting knife. Re-roll cake tightly without parchment paper this time, using a towel to aid you if necessary. You want to keep it as tight as possible! Trim the edges for a better presentation.

• Transfer to fridge for an hour to cool before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar and slice! Enjoy!
