Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick. Stir in the pumpkin and vanilla.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix until just combined.
5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare a kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar.
7. Once the cake is done, invert it onto the prepared towel and peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up in the towel starting from the short side. Let it cool completely.
8. For the filling, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over it, and then roll it back up.
10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
