Pumpkin Walnut Roulade With Spiked Cream Recipes

PUMPKIN ROULADE WITH GINGER BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13-by-18-by-1-inch sheet pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and grease and flour the paper.
• In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt and stir to combine. Place the eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light yellow and thickened. With the mixer on low, add the pumpkin and slowly add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Finish mixing the batter by hand with a rubber spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake the cake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the top springs back when gently touched.
• While the cake is baking, lay out a clean, thin cotton dish towel on a flat surface and sift the entire 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar evenly over it. (This will prevent the cake from sticking to the towel.) As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, loosen it around the edges and invert it squarely onto the prepared towel. Peel away the parchment paper. With a light touch, roll the warm cake and the towel together (don't press!) starting at the short end of the cake. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar and cream together for about a minute, until light and fluffy. Stir in the crystallized ginger and salt.
• To assemble, carefully unroll the cake onto a board with the towel underneath. Spread the cake evenly with the filling. Reroll the cake in a spiral using the towel as a guide. Remove the towel and trim the ends to make a neat edge. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve sliced.

PUMPKIN-WALNUT ROULADE WITH SPIKED CREAM

Steps:

• To make the cake, position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 375° F.
• Lightly butter a 10 X 15-inch jelly roll pan.
• To line the bottom and sides of the pan, cut a 12 X 16-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper.
• At each of the four corners, cut a diagonal slash about 2 inches long.
• Fit the paper into the pan, folding the cut ends over each other at the slashed to form neat corners.
• Lightly butter and flour the paper, tapping out the excess flour.
• In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer set at high speed, beat the sugar and eggs until light in color and texture, about 3 minutes.
• (The mixture should form a thick ribbon that falls back on itself when the beaters are lifted about 2 inches from the bowl. It must be stiff enough to support the weight of the dry ingredients.) Stir in the pumpkin and lemon juice.
• Sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves onto a piece of waxed paper.
• With the mixer on low, gradually beat in the flour mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, being sure to reach into the corners.
• Sprinkle the batter with the walnuts.
• Bake until the center of the cake springs back when lightly pressed with a finger, about 15 minutes.
• Sift confectioners' over the top of the cake.
• Place a clean kitchen towel over the cake, then top with a baking sheet.
• Holding the baking sheet over the cake, turn the cake upside down and invert it onto the towel on the baking sheet.
• Carefully peel off the paper.
• Place the paper back on the cake.
• Using the towel as an aide, roll up the cake and cool completely.
• To make the filling, in a medium bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until combined.
• Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth.
• Unroll the cake and discard the paper.
• Spread the filling evenly over the cake and sprinkle with the crystallized ginger.
• Re-roll the cake (you won't need to use the kitchen towel) and wrap in plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate until the filing is firm, at least 1 hour.
• (The cake can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.) To make the spiked cream, in a chilled medium bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer set at high speed, beat the cream, confectioners' sugar, optional rum, and vanilla until stiff.
• Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip.
• Transfer the roll to a long serving platter.
• Garnish the cake with swirls of the whipped cream, and sprinkle with the walnuts and crystallized ginger.
• To serve, cut the cake diagonally into thick slices.

Gently fold into the batter than repeat with remaining dry mixture. Spread evenly onto prepared baking sheet with an offset spatula and bake until the cake springs back in the center and begins to pull away from edges, about 12 minutes.

PUMPKIN ROLL WITH COFFEE-CARAMEL CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper, then butter the parchment.
• Prepare the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking gently if needed to eliminate any lumps.
• Spread the batter onto the prepared sheet in an even layer. (It won't look very thick.) Bake until the cake is puffed, set and springs back when pressed gently in the center, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set a clean dish towel on a work surface. Dust until evenly coated with confectioners' sugar.
• Remove the cake from the oven and use a paring knife to loosen it from the edges. Immediately flip the cake out onto the prepared towel and peel off the parchment paper. Starting from one of the short edges of the towel, roll the cake and towel up into a spiral, taking care not to compress the cake. Transfer the towel-wrapped cake to a rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• While the cake bakes, prepare the filling: Add 1 tablespoon water to a small saucepan. Add the granulated sugar and bring to a simmer, without stirring, over medium-high heat. Once the sugar starts to turn amber in spots, swirl the pan to help the sugar cook evenly. Continue to cook the sugar mixture, swirling occasionally, until it turns a deep amber color, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove it from the heat and immediately stir in the cream, butter and ground coffee. (Be careful, as the mixture will steam and bubble.)
• Cook for another minute or two over medium heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then carefully pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let the caramel cool for a few minutes but don't let it cool completely, as it will harden.
• With the mixer on low, add the cream cheese a few pieces at a time until it's all incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Don't worry if the first few pieces melt a bit when they hit the caramel.) Beat in the confectioners' sugar. Transfer to a smaller bowl, if you'd like, cover and chill until completely cold, at least 1 hour.
• When you're ready to assemble, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled cream cheese mixture.
• Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the filling evenly over the cake and then roll it back up without the dish towel. Trim about 1 inch from each end of the cake. Transfer to a serving plate, dust with confectioners' sugar, if using, and serve immediately. (You can also make the cake in advance and refrigerate up to 24 hours, but wait to dust with confectioners' sugar until you're ready to serve.)
