GRANDMA CAROL'S PUMPKIN ROLL

My mom always makes her pumpkin roll around Thanksgiving and takes one to work where everyone asks her if she can make them one and they all want the recipe. You may want to halve the recipe unless you are making for a crowd or to give away. It makes a lot. It is without a doubt the best pumpkin roll I've ever had!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready, and the oven is preheated to the correct temperature.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own puree by roasting and blending pumpkin or use canned puree.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Rolling the Cake: Once the cake is baked, immediately flip it onto a tea towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. This prevents the cake from sticking and makes rolling easier.
  • Filling: Use a variety of fillings to customize the roll. Cream cheese, whipped cream, pumpkin butter, or jam are all great options.
  • Make Ahead: The pumpkin roll can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
