PUMPKIN ROLL CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a jelly-roll pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease and flour the paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Mix in the pumpkin until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture. Pour the batter out onto the prepared jelly-roll pan. Drop the pan twice on the counter to even out the batter and release any bubbles. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, dust a dishtowel with the confectioners' sugar. Immediately transfer the cake to the powdered dishtowel and gently roll from one short end to the other. Refrigerate on a pan or plate until completely cool, about 2 hours.
• For the filling: Combine the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
• Unroll the cake and spread with the filling. Re-roll the cake and wrap with plastic wrap for 1 to 2 hours. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

PROTEIN PUMPKIN ROLL CAKE

Steps:

• Mix together wet ingredients well. Sift in dry ingredients. Mix until blended.
• So once I did that I had to figure out how to make a long, flat cake. Seemed to me the best way to do it was to line a cookie sheet w/ foil, spray it down and cook the cake on that. So that's precisely what I did. And I baked on 350 for 10 minutes. Yes, only 10 minutes.
• Now it is VERY important with roll cakes to let the cake cool. I know you're excited. I was too. But we had to let the thing cool! The cooling process gave me time to contemplate what the heck I was gonna fill this puppy with. I had this whole grand scheme in my head involving ricotta cheese and cream cheese and all that jazz but -- being that we just had a blizzard and I was not willing to trek out in the snow to procure ricotta -- the cream cheese would have to do.
• Once I took the thing out of the oven I needed to transfer it so I could peel the backing.
• Then I lined the first cookie sheet with plastic wrap and transfered the cake back onto it. There -- now we're in the right place. So I iced the thing (and it looked so pretty and flat -- I was so mesmerized that I forgot to take a pic at this stage). So here came the real test: could a protein cake roll?

• For the cake, preheat oven to 375ºF. Line base of 11 x 17 inches jelly roll pan with parchment paper; set aside.
• In medium bowl, sift together flour, pumpkin pie spice and baking powder; set aside. In large bowl, beat egg yolks until frothy with electric mixer. Add 1/2 cup sugar; continue beating 3-5 minutes. Add pumpkin and flour mixture; mix until well combined.

Carefully remove parchment paper. Starting at a short edge, roll up cake with kitchen towel. Transfer rolled cake to cooling rack; cool completely.
