A classic pumpkin roll recipe from Libby’s, featuring a moist pumpkin cake and a sweet cream cheese filling. This recipe is easy to follow and perfect for fall.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Libby’s Pumpkin
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan. Line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.
- Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in lemon juice.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on your counter and dust it generously with confectioners’ sugar.
- Immediately after baking, invert the hot cake onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one short end, tightly roll up the cake and towel together. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until well combined and fluffy.
- Once the cake roll is completely cool, gently unroll it. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cake.
- Tightly re-roll the cake, this time without the towel.
- Wrap the cake roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a patterned cake roll, you can pipe a simple design onto the parchment paper before pouring the batter.
- Ensure all ingredients for the frosting are at room temperature for a smooth consistency.
- Chill the roll for at least 2 hours for easier slicing.
