Ingredients:

• Eggs
• Sugar
• Pumpkin puree
• Flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Cream cheese
• Confectioners' sugar
• Vanilla
• Butter

Making the Pumpkin Cake Roll:

First thing you want to do is spray a sheet pan with cooking spray. Then, line it with parchment paper and give that a spray as well. Now, in a bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients together and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add the pumpkin and the sugars and mix until all combined.

Now, it is time to use the dry ingredients that you already mixed together. Just add them to the pumpkin mix and beat, just until mixed.

Preheat oven to 350ºF, then pour the mixture into a greased and lined sheet pan and bake for about 15 minutes. When the cake is done, turn it out onto a towel that has sifted powder sugar all over it. At one of the narrow ends, start rolling up the cake roll with the towel until it is all wrapped up in the towel. Now, take the cake roll and, with the seam side down, set the cake, towel and all, onto a rack and let it cool for at least an hour. It should be cool so that the cream cheese filling doesn't melt.

Making cream cheese filling:

In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and butter until all combined.

Into the cream cheese mixture, add the confectioners' sugar and mix until it is all combined.

Add the vanilla and cinnamon to the cream cheese mix and combine for about 1 minute.

Rolling the Pumpkin Roll:

Unroll the pumpkin cake roll gently; no need to race. The cake should be cool. Take the cream cheese filling and spread it all over the cake.

Starting with the short side of the cake roll, begin to roll the cake over the cream cheese, making it as tight as you can. When it is completely rolled up, wrap it in tin foil and set it in the refrigerator seem side down for at least 1 to 2 hours.

When the cake is cold and set, it always looks better when you cut a thin piece of the cake roll off of each end.

This is the finished cake roll. Look how pretty it looks! With the swirled interior and topped with powdered sugar, what's not to love‽ It's the perfect dessert for autumn!
