Pumpkin Roll



Oh happy day, we've had some beautiful weather and sunny skies, so off to the patio I went for my tea party.  Do you love pumpkin roll?  I think I may like it better than pumpkin pie.  Hmmmm...could it be the cream cheese filling that I like so much??  My big star quilt that I made always come out in the Fall because it has pumpkin vines as one of the patterns. 


This teapot is perfect for November with all the Fall bounty and the wheat handle.

Here's the backside, which is just as pretty as the front.  I found this several years ago for a a few dollars at a thrift store in Ohio.

This Lenox Weatherly teacup came from the first teacup exchange that I participated in and it goes with anything.

My mountain bike loving and rock climbing granddaughter turned 6 this past week!  That is Harper after riding 6 miles by herself, with her daddy running behind her. 

Connor, my Marine grandson, turned 20!!  How can those years fly by so quickly??  He was home on a surprise visit back in September.

Pumpkin Roll

Pumpkin Roll

I have been making this recipe for years, and it's a very good one. My family loves it.

Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin ( I always freeze the rest of the pumpkin for another recipe)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 (8-ounce) pkg. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 and 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

For the Cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  2. Grease an 15" x 10" jelly roll pan. Line with wax paper or parchment paper, and grease and flour that (I use a spray that contains flour.)
  3. Combine eggs, and both sugars and beat on high speed of an electric mixer until smooth.  Add pumpkin, mixing well.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and spices, stirring well; add to  pumpkin mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread evenly, then sprinkle with pecans.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until top of cake springs  back when touched.
  6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar evenly onto a tea towel.  Loosen edges of cake and carefully invert onto towel.  Remove the wax or parchment paper.  Roll up cake in towel, beginning with short side.  Cool cake completely on a cooling rack
For the Filling:
  1. Combine the butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl, and beat with and electric mixer until smooth.   Add the powdered sugar and the vanilla and beat again until smooth. 
  2. Carefully unroll cake and spread with cream cheese filling to within 1/2" of edges.  Carefully reroll cake without the towel.  Place on a serving platter;  chill before serving.

Notes:

Often the cake cracks, but if you wish, you can cover the crack on top with some whipped cream.

  2. You found the perfect teapot for November. and gave it a second home. Love the Fall bounty and the wheat handle. Since we can't all be together at Thanksgiving this year, I decided to make pumpkin roll instead of the several pies that I typically make for 16 people. I've been using the pumpkin roll using the recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook, and yours looks amazing and even better. Happy Birthday to Harper and Connor!

  5. What a lovely autumnal tea table, Kitty! The teapot is perfect and your pumpkin roll looks delicious! I would certainly enjoy that while sipping tea and having a visit with you. Your granddaughter is adorable and Connor is a handsome young man. How fast the years fly by! I remember when my hubby used to run marathons and our youngest son would ride his bike behind him for miles while his dad was getting ready for the runs. One of my grandsons turned seventeen a couple of weeks ago and my middle son had his birthday on the weekend. We have lots of birthdays between September and January. Enjoy your tea time. Hugs...Sandi

  10. I have a confession to make: I'm not a big fan of pumpkin pie. But I love other pumpkin dessert like cookies, ice cream, or your roll!

    The basketweave teapot looks great! And I agree that the elegant white and silver teacup is very versatile.

    Happy Belated Birthday to your grandkids!

  19. A friend introduced me to pumpkin roll many years ago. I don't make it often, but it's delicious, and yours looks so pretty and neat. How grownup your grandson Connor is, and sweet little Harper is delightful! Wishing you a wonderful remainder of the week.

  20. Oh, my goodness! This sounds SO amazing! I was sitting here wondering if I could substitute honey for the sugar and brown sugar. It seems like sometimes it works to do that and sometimes it doesn't. I may just try it! I LOVE pumpkin. Your little granddaughter is so pretty, and I cannot believe she can ride six miles! Wow! Connor looks so handsome and happy. I Know you miss him terribly and trust Jesus to keep him safe and let him visit you as often as possible. God bless you abundantly, sweet friend.
