Pumpkin Roll Cake

 

For a cake that doesn’t come in a box, this is about as easy a cake as you can make. And it just screams Fall! Pumpkins! Spices! Yummy! I put this in the pumpkin recipes last fall, but here are some pictures to go along with it.

 

PUMPKIN ROLL CAKE

 

Beat 3 eggs for 3 minutes.
 
 
Add 1 c. sugar.
 
 
Beat in 2/3 c. pumpkin and 1 tsp. lemon juice.
 
 
Stir in:
¾ c. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon  
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. baking powder 


Prepare a greased and floured cookie sheet, or a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and sprayed with cooking spray.  

Pour the batter on the cookie sheet.
 
 
Sprinkle with 1 ½ cups chopped nuts.
 
 
Or leave off the nuts. Bake at 375˚ for 10-15 minutes.  


Cool 5 minutes. Turn out onto towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
 

 
Roll up. Cool 30 minutes.



 Unroll and frost with:
1 c. powdered sugar
¼ c. butter
6 oz. cream cheese
½ tsp. vanilla    

Beat together and spread on cake.
 

 
Roll up, using the towel to start it rolling.
 
 
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

 
Even though I’ve had this recipe forever, it’s just a wonderful fall cake and is worth making every year. So I made two! Enjoy!
