My wife and I make this every year for Christmas...It is very good and easy.
Use only Pumpkin in the Can not the Pumpkin Pie Mix. In our family this does not last long..
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 3/4 cup self rising flour
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 (8oz.) pkg. cream cheese
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. of vanilla
- Beat the eggs on high speed for three minutes, and combine sugar and beat an additional two minutes. Fold in the pumpkin.
- Sift together flour, the ginger and cinnamon. Fold into the egg and pumpkin mixture.
- Pour onto a well greased cookie sheet, can not use air bake kind. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until cake looks golden brown. Carefully flip out of the cookie sheet onto a clean dish towel. Roll into jelly roll shape.
- For the cream cheese filling, cut the cream cheese and butter together at room temperature. Combine with powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until fluffy.
- Unroll the cooled jelly roll cake. Spread cream cheese filling evening on top and slowly re-enroll cake.
- Slice into one inch servings.
- Refridgerate any leftovers and cover to keep from going stale.

I make this every year for the holidays. The canned pumpkin pie filling is not recommended for this. The solid pumpkin in a can is perfect. When you take it out of the over, flip it on a clean pillow case or dish towel dust with power sugar. This will help it from sticking. Roll from the short side. Let cake cool completely before icing it. Also, I do not grease a cookie sheet, I use parachment paper.

Yes I make this all the time too. But I roll from the long side it makes more servings this way. The recipe I have calls for rolling from the long side. I never have trouble with it breaking apart. Let it cool overnight and then fill in the morning.

This didn't work like the pumpkin stuff fell apart? I did try to make it and it tasted good it just looks horrible.

Sometimes when I roll it up with the icing, the cake breaks and not so attractive. My family dont care, they know it taste just as good.
