Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup (225g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (175g) canned pumpkin
- ¾ cup (115g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp salt
- 8 oz (227g) cream cheese (softened)
- 6 tbsps (84g) butter (softened)
- 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
- 4 tbsps powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prep Station: Grease a half sheet pan, line with parchment, and dust with flour and powdered sugar. Position a cotton kitchen towel nearby for cake transfer.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt into a harmonious mixture.
- Egg Transformation: Whip eggs and granulated sugar until achieving a pale yellow, voluminous texture.
- Batter Creation: Fold pumpkin puree into the egg mixture, then gradually incorporate dry ingredients until a uniform batter forms.
- Baking Precision: Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake at 375°F for 13-15 minutes until the surface springs back when touched.
- Cake Maneuvering: Immediately transfer the hot cake onto the sugar-dusted towel, peel off parchment, and roll from the narrow end, allowing complete cooling.
- Filling Fabrication: Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract into a silky, smooth mixture.
- Assembly Artistry: Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream cheese filling uniformly, and re-roll tightly.
- Finishing Flourish: Wrap the rolled cake in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour. Before serving, dust with additional powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Prep Pan Perfectly: Use parchment paper and dust with flour to prevent sticking and ensure clean cake removal.
- Control Baking Time: Watch closely for 13-15 minutes; cake should spring back when touched to avoid overbaking and dryness.
- Roll While Warm: Transfer and roll cake immediately after baking with towel to prevent cracking and maintain flexible texture.
- Chill for Best Flavor: Refrigerate rolled cake for at least one hour to set filling and enhance overall taste and texture.
