- In a a stand mixer or with a hand mixer beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick (this takes a bit of time).
- Add in your pumpkin and continue to beat until mixed.
- Add in your flour mixture and mix.
- Spread on your prepared pan with paper.
- Bake for 11 to 15 minutes or 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, starting with narrow end.
- Cool on wire rack. (for super fast cooling you can put it in the freezer too)
- In a medium sized bowl or stand mixer beat cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Unroll cake carefully.
- Spread cream cheese mixture over cake.
- Reroll the cake.
- Wrap in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate at least one hour so it sets.
- Once it's completely done you will use a string to cut each piece.
- Carefully lift the bottom of the roll and place the string underneath the first piece.
- Bring each end of the string to the top of the roll and criss cross it and pull each end in the opposite direction eventually cutting each piece perfectly!

This is a very simple recipe to try. The hardest part is cutting each piece but the string trick really does work! Here is a close up photo of the cake part flipped over onto the towel. The cake will be thin. I use my favorite non stick cookie sheet to bake it in.
