Pumpkin Cake Roll With Cream Cheese Filling Recipe

by

Now that it’s fall and there are pumpkins everywhere, I’m in the mood to start making favorite pumpkin desserts.  Here is one of my favorite recipes – my mom’s pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling.  Anytime I make one of these and take it to a holiday party, it gets lots of compliments and I never have any leftovers…just requests for the recipe.  Thought I would share it with everyone.  If you decide to make it, let me know how it goes.
Pumpkin Roll with Cream Cheese Filling 

(Makes one pumpkin roll- approximately 12-15 servings)

Ingredients You Will Need:
  • 3 eggs
  • Cooked pumpkin
  • Self-rising flour
  • Sugar
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Lemon juice
  • Pecans (chopped)
  • Vanilla
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Cream Cheese
  • Butter

Directions:

1. Whip 3 eggs with mixer until fluffy.

2.  Add the following:

  • 2/3 cup pumpkin
  • 3/4 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice

3. Mix all of the above.

4.  Grease and flour a cookie sheet (I line mine with foil first so it will be easier to flip out when it’s done).  Spread mix on the cookie sheet and put a layer of 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

5. Bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees.  Remove from oven and while it is warm, Flip it off the cookie sheet onto wax paper (or something that it will not stick to).

6.  Roll up the cake/wax paper.  Allow cake to cool completely.  Unroll cake/wax paper.

7. Make Cream Cheese Filling by mixing the following:

  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
  • 4 tsp butter (softened)

8.  Spread Filling onto unrolled cake top.  Reroll cake (without the wax paper!).

9.  Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

10. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

    You are awesome! I was looking for a recipe that didn’t involve rolling it on linen towels (I’m not even sure I can tell the difference between linen and, say, regular cheap kitchen towels). Thank you!!!
