A delightful treat, the Pumpkin Roll Cream Cheese Filling combines a light sponge cake with a rich and creamy filling, perfect for fall desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sifted flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and canned pumpkin. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light sponge.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until the surface springs back when touched.
- Once baked, carefully turn the cake out onto a clean work surface. Gently roll the cake lengthwise into a log shape while still warm.
- Transfer the rolled cake to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely while maintaining the rolled shape.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy.
- Gently unroll the cooled cake. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface, then carefully roll the cake up again.
- Wrap the filled cake roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Remove the chilled cake from plastic wrap. Dust the exterior with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- You can add chopped nuts to the filling for extra texture if desired.
- Dust with powdered sugar right before serving for the best presentation.
