Ingredients
  

Cake
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
Topping
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Filling
  • 1 8-oz package cream cheese
  • 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 6 TBs softened butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Grease 15"x10" jelly-roll pan and line with parchment paper. Grease and flour paper.
  2. Prepare a clean thin cotton kitchen towel by sprinkling with powdered sugar. Set aside on flat surface for cooling cake after baking.
  3. Beat egg and sugar in large mixer bowl until thick. Beat in pumpkin.
  4. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened.
  5. Spread evenly into prepared jelly-roll pan. Sprinkle with nuts.
  6. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until top of cake springs back when touched. Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together and cool on wire rack.
    * recipe says to roll up starting with narrow end - this will make a short, fat roll. I like to roll up along the long side for a longer, slimmer roll so the pieces aren't so big.
Filling
  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth.
  2. Carefully unroll cooled cake and remove towel. Spread cream cheese mixture over cake. Reroll cake.
  3. Wrap cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
