Aunt Maggies Pumpkin Roll Recipes

GRANDMA CAROL'S PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 12x17-inch jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper; butter the parchment paper. Generously dust a kitchen towel with confectioners' sugar.
• Beat eggs, white sugar, and pumpkin together in a bowl until creamy.
• Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl; gradually stir into egg mixture. Stir to combine. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 10 minutes.
• Immediately turn cake onto the prepared kitchen towel. Starting at a long end, roll up pumpkin cake and towel. Let rolled cake rest for 10 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese, butter, 16-ounce package confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth; fold in pecans.
• Unroll cake; spread with the filling. Roll up cake (without towel). Cut off any jagged ends. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Cut cake in half if desired; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.

MOM'S SIMPLE PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat eggs for 5 minutes to make fluffy.
• Add sifted self-rising flour, sugar, and spices along with pumpkin. Mix through.
• Spread mixture into a greased & floured 10"x15" baking pan (a large cookie sheet will work fine).
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Take a medium sized kitchen towel (one that is larger than the cookie sheet), lay it flat and heavily sprinkle with sifted flour.
• Invert cake onto towel, and roll cake and the towel together. Cool in fridge.
• Combine softened cream cheese, softened margarine, sifted powdered sugar and vanilla with mixer.
• Once pumpkin cake is cooled, unroll and spread all cream cheese icing over cake.
• Reroll cake, but make sure to not put too much pressure on cake, as icing will ooze out the sides.
• Place seam side down and refridge again.
• Sprinkle top with extra sifted powdered sugar for decoration.
