Susans Perfect Pumpkin Roll Recipes

PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan (15 x 10'') with parchment paper, leaving an extra inch of parchment sticking up on both long sides of the pan so that you can easily lift the cake out after baking. (You can VERY lightly grease the parchment paper, if you want to, but you don't need to!)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. In a separate bowl mix the eggs, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin until smooth.
• Add dry ingredients to the bowl and stir just until combined and no dry streaks remain.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 14-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Immediately lift the payment paper and hot cake out of the pan and onto a flat (heat-safe) surface.
• While the cake is hot, starting at one of the short ends, use your hands to gently and slowly roll the cake (and parchment paper!) all the way up. Allow it to cool completely, on top of a wire cooling rack. (This allows it to cool underneath the roll, and keeps the cake from sweating).
• While the cake roll is cooling, mix the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until it is fluffy and smooth.
• Once the cake roll is cooled completely, unroll it very carefully. Gently smooth the filling in an even layer over the cake.
• Roll up the cake without the parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, before serving.
• Dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired. You could use a duster, spoon, or even your fingers to lightly sprinkle it on top of the roll. Cut into slices and serve.
• Store in the fridge, covered, for up to three days.

SUSAN'S PERFECT PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Set cream cheese and butter out to soften to room temperature. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease and flour the paper. I used Baker's Joy spray to make this step easier. Sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In the large bowl of a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Add in pumpkin and beat a few more seconds. Stir in the flour mixture. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Immediately loosen and flip cake onto prepared towel.
• Carefully peel off the paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with the narrow end. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Beat cream cheese, butter, 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Beat in additional 1/4 cup powdered sugar as necessary to make a good spreading consistency. Carefully unroll cake and spread filing over cake.
• Reroll the cake and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice in 3/4" pieces to serve.
