Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
non-stick spray (I used Smart Balance)
1/4 cup powdered sugar (to sprinkle on towel)
6 oz light cream cheese (at room temperature (NOT fat free))
3/4 cup powdered sugar
6 oz fat free Fage Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
powdered sugar (optional for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and place oven rack in the center of the oven. Spray a 15 x 10 inch baking pan with non-stick spray, line it with parchment paper, then spray a little more non-stick spray and lightly flour the parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, allspice, and salt into a large bowl.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar together in your electric mixer or hand mixer. Beat on high speed for five minutes, or until thick, pale yellow, and fluffy. (When you slowly raise the beaters the batter will fall back into the bowl in slow ribbons.)
  • Beat in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the sifted flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, evenly spreading the cake batter with a spatula or knife.
  • Bake about 13 - 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake, when lightly pressed, springs back.
  • Sprinkle a clean dish towel with confectioners' sugar.
  • Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven invert the pumpkin roll onto the clean dish towel. Carefully remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and sprinkle lightly with confectioners sugar; roll the pumpkin roll up with the towel, while it is still hot and pliable. Place on a wire rack to cool.
  • Beat the cream cheese, yogurt, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat until smooth; fold in the walnuts.
  • Refrigerate at least one hour.
  • Unroll the pumpkin roll, spread with the filling, and re-roll. Transfer to your serving platter; cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. (You can serve this cake immediately but chilling it overnight sets the filling and makes it easier to slice.)
  • Just before serving, lightly dust with powdered sugar.

MOIST PUMPKIN CAKE ROLL



Moist Pumpkin Cake Roll image

Years ago a close friend at work brought this in and I demanded the recipe. I memorized the recipe because I made it so much... then after a while of not making it, I forgot it a little and had to alter it. Now it's even more moist and delicious, as if it needed to be. This cake can be frozen for later use or stored in the fridge.

Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar, or more as needed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, then grease it.
  • Separate egg yolks and whites into 2 separate mixing bowls. Stir flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Add pumpkin, vanilla, and lemon juice to the egg yolks; beat on high speed with an electric mixer until thick. Add 1/3 cup sugar and beat on high until dissolved.
  • Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into the egg yolk mixture. Fold in flour just until combined. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, lay a kitchen towel on a nice, flat surface. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and loosen the edges from the pan with a toothpick. Flip the cake onto the towel and pull off the parchment paper. Starting at the short end, roll the cake up with the towel into a spiral. Let sit until mostly cool but still a little warm, about 20 minutes.
  • While the cake is cooling, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar; beat well, adding more sugar if necessary, until frosting is a good spreading consistency.
  • Unroll the still warm cake in the towel. Spread the frosting over the cake, starting in the middle and working outwards to about 1 inch from the edges. Re-roll the cake without the towel and place on a serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • When spreading the batter onto the prepared pan, use a spatula to evenly distribute it. Do not spread the batter too thick, as this can result in a dry cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, as this can result in a dry cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before filling and rolling. This will help prevent the cake from cracking.
  • For a creamier filling, chill the whipped cream before using.
  • When rolling the cake, start from one short end and roll tightly. Use a piece of parchment paper to help you roll the cake.
  • Once the cake is rolled, chill it for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cake set and make it easier to slice.
