Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the baking process begins at the right temperature for the perfect cake texture.
While the oven is heating, prepare your baking pan for the pumpkin roll.
Step 2
Line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper and make sure to grease the parchment as well. This step is crucial to prevent the cake from sticking.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mixing these ingredients thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors throughout the batter.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Make sure that the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cake.
Carefully spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Step 6
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
Step 7
Once baked, immediately roll the cake with the parchment paper while it is still warm. This will help maintain its shape. Allow it to cool completely.
Step 8
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This will be the delicious filling for your pumpkin roll.
Step 9
Once the cake has cooled, unroll it carefully and spread the cream filling evenly over the surface of the cake. Be sure to cover every inch for maximum flavor.
Then, roll the cake back up tightly and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
Step 10
When ready to serve, dust the top with powdered sugar for a festive touch. Slice into pieces and enjoy this delicious pumpkin roll with family and friends!
Servings
When it comes to serving your pumpkin roll, the options are as delightful as the dessert itself! To really impress your guests, slice it into pinwheel segments for a beautiful presentation. Place the slices on a velvet-soft platter and garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth.
For a cozy afternoon treat, serve it alongside a steaming cup of chai or pumpkin spice latte. The flavors complement each other beautifully, making every bite feel like a hug! 🎃☕
And don’t forget, this roll can be an excellent addition to any festive gathering. Imagine it at your Thanksgiving table, capturing the essence of fall in every slice! Impress family and friends by serving it with vanilla ice cream for a warm, cold combination that will delight everyone!

Variations
Are you looking for tasty alternatives? Try these fun gluten-free and vegan options! 🌱
For a gluten-free version, simply substitute regular flour with your favorite gluten-free blend. Make sure it includes xanthan gum for the right texture. You'll still achieve that delightful fluffiness without any gluten!
If you want to create a vegan pumpkin roll, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water equals one egg). Use plant-based butter and dairy-free cream cheese for a delicious dairy-free filling. Your taste buds won’t miss a beat!
Faq
- How do I know when my pumpkin roll is finished baking?
Your pumpkin roll is done when it springs back after a light touch or when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to prevent overcooking!
- Can I make the pumpkin roll ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake and roll your pumpkin cake a day in advance. Just store it covered in the fridge after it cools. Don't add the filling until you're ready to serve to keep everything fresh!
- What if my pumpkin roll cracks when I roll it?
If your roll cracks, don't worry! It can happen to the best of us. Simply take a little icing and patch it up—then dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish!
- How can I store leftovers?
Keep any leftover pumpkin roll tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge. It should stay fresh for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months; just thaw before serving.
- Can I add a different flavor to the cream filling?
Of course! Feel free to experiment by adding flavors like orange zest or chocolate chips for a fun twist on the filling. Your creativity is the limit!
- What is the best way to slice my pumpkin roll?
Use a serrated knife for a clean slice without squishing the cake. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for the best presentation!
