Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  •  

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

  • 1 pack 8 oz cream cheese
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Place oven rack in the middle of the oven and pre-heat oven to 375 F
  • Prepare the pan:
    Use
    15x 10-inch pan
    Line the pan with parchment paper. Leaving an extra inch sticking out of the pan. This will make the pumpkin roll easy to transfer and easy to move. The parchment paper doesn't stay in the pan, so be patient and put a fold on the parchment paper to shape on the pan. I have to mention again that
    15x 10-inch pan
  • In a small bowl, add in all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium size bowl, add in the sugar and egg together. Beat using a wire whisk or electric mixer until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree and mix.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix gently using a spatula. Mix until incorporated.
  • Pour mixture in the middle of the pan and spread evenly at the edges.
  • Bake for 13 minutes in a preheated oven.
  • HOW TO ROLL OLD FASHIONED PUMPKIN CAKE ROLL
  • When the cake roll is cooked and baked, pick up theĀ  parchment paper and the cake and place in a flat surface.
  • Roll cake while it's still hot.Don't remove cake from parchment paper. Start from the one short end to the other short end. Put cake in a wire rack until cool down.
  • When the cake is cool, gently unroll the cake and taking off and removing the parchment paper as you go along. Spread the prepared cream cheese filling. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FILL 1/2 INCH OF THE EDGES. This is very important so that the filling will not spread out.
  • Roll the cake again and wrap it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or 4 hours before serving.
  • Sprinkle cake with powder sugar.

HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE FILLING:

  • Place cream cheese and butter in a medium sized bowl. Beat until smooth.
  • Add in powdered sugar and beat again until smooth. If there are more lumps, smoothen the filling by mixing using a spatula.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Gimme Some Oven
I have to emphasize that you need to use 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan.
I did not add vanilla extract in the frosting as I found it too thin.
