Equipment

  • 10x15-inch jelly roll pan
  • Parchment paper
  • mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Sponge

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar for 2–3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla; mix just until combined.
  • Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a spatula. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • Immediately turn the cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment and roll the cake with the towel from the short side. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Unroll cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, then re-roll tightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve chilled with coffee or Pumpkin Spice Milk.

Notes

✔️ Use pure pumpkin puree — not pie filling — for the perfect texture.
✔️ To make ahead, prepare the cake a day early and refrigerate.
✔️ Add pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans for a crunchy topping.
✔️ Serve alongside Autumn Harvest Salad or Apple Crumble for a complete fall menu.
