Fall is here, and what better way to celebrate the season than with a delicious Pumpkin Roll? This classic dessert is sure to impress your family and friends, and it’s easier to make than you think!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and grease the paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for 3 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar, pumpkin, and lemon juice, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until well combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with walnuts if desired.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately turn the cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and roll up the cake in the towel, starting with a short side.
  • Cool the cake completely on a wire rack. Unroll the cake and spread the cream cheese filling over the cake to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Roll up the cake again, without the towel. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
