The Best Pumpkin Roll Food

PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan (15 x 10'') with parchment paper, leaving an extra inch of parchment sticking up on both long sides of the pan so that you can easily lift the cake out after baking. (You can VERY lightly grease the parchment paper, if you want to, but you don't need to!)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. In a separate bowl mix the eggs, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin until smooth.
• Add dry ingredients to the bowl and stir just until combined and no dry streaks remain.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 14-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Immediately lift the payment paper and hot cake out of the pan and onto a flat (heat-safe) surface.
• While the cake is hot, starting at one of the short ends, use your hands to gently and slowly roll the cake (and parchment paper!) all the way up. Allow it to cool completely, on top of a wire cooling rack. (This allows it to cool underneath the roll, and keeps the cake from sweating).
• While the cake roll is cooling, mix the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until it is fluffy and smooth.
• Once the cake roll is cooled completely, unroll it very carefully. Gently smooth the filling in an even layer over the cake.
• Roll up the cake without the parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, before serving.
• Dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired. You could use a duster, spoon, or even your fingers to lightly sprinkle it on top of the roll. Cut into slices and serve.
• Store in the fridge, covered, for up to three days.

PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 17 1/2- by 12 1/2-inch jellyroll pan.
• With an electric mixer, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin and lemon juice until smooth. Sift together the flour, ginger, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
• Add the sifted ingredients to the egg mixture and blend until fully combined. Spread the batter in the jellyroll pan. Sprinkle the dough with the chopped pecans. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 14 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
• Invert the cake onto a wire rack. Sprinkle some of the confectioner' sugar on a large tea towel and carefully transfer the warm cake to the towel, folding the sides of the towel over the cake. Roll the cake up in the towel and cool in the refrigerator thoroughly for about 45 minutes.
• With an electric mixer, combine the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla and beat until smooth. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the mixture on top of the cake. Gently re-roll the cake up and refrigerate it until you're ready to slice and serve. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

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.
