Directions: |
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 15x10 cookie sheet with parchment paper. Let some of the parchment hang off the short sides to easily lift the pumpkin roll once cooled. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
2. Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Combine the wet ingredients in a separate large bowl. Whisk until smooth.
4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and slowly mix, just until incorporated.
5. Pour the pumpkin roll mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet and make sure to press the mixture into the corners. Use a spatula to smooth the top and get it uniformly flat. Sprinkle the top with chopped nuts.
6. Bake the roll for about 12 to 15 minutes. The cake should spring back to the touch when done.
7. Let cool for a few minutes, then gently lift the parchment hanging off the sides to begin rolling up the pumpkin roll. Roll it up as tightly as possible, moving slowly as not to break it.
8. Let the pumpkin roll cool completely to room temperature before unraveling and adding the cream cheese filling.
9. Use a stand or handheld mixer to cream all the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting. Frosting should hold its shape but be spreadable. If frosting is too thick, add 1 tsp water. If too thin, add powdered sugar.
10. Once the pumpkin roll is cooled to room temperature, unravel and spread the cream cheese mixture along the rectangle, leaving 1 inch of space between the frosting and the edge. Re-roll the pumpkin roll and set seam side down in the refrigerator until ready to serve. |
