Pumpkin Roll

November 25, 2014 · by Carrie Trax ·

Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese FillingThe pumpkin pie is the traditional dessert at the Thanksgiving table and here is a great and easy recipe to make “Nana’s Trax Pumpkin Pie”.   If you are looking to add something new to the Thanksgiving dessert table this pumpkin roll is the perfect addition.  The soft sponge cake with just the perfect amount of spices is rolled with cream cheese icing and dusted with confectioners sugar.

Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Icing Baking panPumpkin roll batterPumpkin rollPumpkin roll being rolled
Cake:
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup fresh* or can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

Icing:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
6 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a 10x15x1-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper (this will make it easy to flip the cake after it is baked).  Spray parchment paper with cooking spray and dust with flour, set aside.  Lay out a large cotton kitchen towel on your work surface and dust with confectioners sugar.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and salt.  In a bowl of an electric mixer beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is very thick.  Beat in the vanilla and pumpkin puree.  Add in the flour mixture and mix until combined.  With a spatula evenly spread batter in the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.  Remove from oven and immediately turn the cake onto the confectioners sugar dusted kitchen towel.  Carefully peel off the parchment paper.  Starting at one of the short ends, rolling up the cake and towel together.  Cool on wire rack.

Pumpkin roll with icingTo make the cream cheese filling beat the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, butter and vanilla in the bowl of a electric mixer until smooth.

When the cake has cooled, unroll and remove the towel.  Spread the cream cheese filling over the cake, leavening a 1-inch border all around.  Starting at one of the ends, re-roll the cake.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.  Dust with confectioners sugar before your serve.  This can be made a few days ahead of time.

Asparagus is popping up out of the ground all over Oregon.  This tells me that spring has started here in Oregon.  My favorite way to prepare asparagus is to roast it in the oven, it takes just 5 minutes.  You can also grill, steam or boil asparagus to make endless dishes.  For breakfast I enjoy […]
