Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

For the filling:

  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment and spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs on high for five minutes. Add the sugar, pumpkin puree, and lemon juice, and mix until combined. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and ginger. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, and spread evenly. Bake 12-15 minutes, until the top springs back when touched lightly. Sprinkle a dish towel liberally with powdered sugar. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to release it, then carefully turn the cake out onto the dish towel. Remove the parchment paper. Roll the cake up in the towel, starting from one of the short sides, and let cool completely (about 25-30 minutes).
  • While the cake is cooling, make the filling by beating together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Unroll the cooled cake, and spread the filling over the cake in an even layer, leaving about one inch on the edges of the cake unfrosted. Roll up the cake around the filling (without the dish towel). Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to serve, dust the cake with powdered sugar and cut into slices.
