Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Filling

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Now grease & flour a 15x10x1” jelly roll baking pan. I also like to line with parchement paper for ease of removal. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl beat 3 eggs with electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar. Now stir in 2/3 cup pumpkin and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  • In medium bowl stir together 3/4 cup flour, 2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold into pumpkin mixture and mix well.
  • Spread cake in prepared pan and sprinkle with walnuts. Bake at 375 F for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Do not overbake.
  • Immediately loosen edges of cake from pan and turn cake out onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Starting from a short side, roll up the warm wake and the powdered sugar-coated towel together and let the cake cool.
  • For filling, in a medium bowl combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
  • Carefully unroll the cooled cake & towel. Spread the filling over the cake, leaving a 1” border around the edges. Starting from a short side, roll up the cake and filling.
  • Cover and refrigerate. To serve, sprinkle with additional powdered sugar; cut into slices.
