Description
This classic pumpkin roll with cream cheese frosting is a must-bake for fall! The cake is light but full of flavor thanks to pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Creating a rolled cake may sound tricky, but if you follow the easy steps, you’ll have a beautiful and perfectly rolled cake in no time at all (the total time includes 3 hours cooling). Note that you’ll need a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan. Serve slices of this cake as is, or top with candied pecans for extra flavor and fall flair. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Annalise Sandberg.
Ingredients
- cooking oil spray
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt (divided)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin (unsweetened pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter (melted, for cake)
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract (divided)
- 4 oz. cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature, for frosting)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (plus more for serving)
- 1 cup candied pecans (chopped, for serving; optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. Cut a second piece of parchment paper the same size and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 tsp. salt. In a second bowl, whisk together brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Add dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and whisk just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Pour cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer all the way out to the edges so it bakes evenly.
