Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan and line with wax or parchment paper.
  • Spray Paper lightly with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle a thin kitchen towel with powdered sugar (try to use one that will not give off fuzz).
  • In a a bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
  • 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!
