Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice blend
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting towel)
For the Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch sea salt
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, spraying it lightly with non-stick spray for extra protection.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice blend, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat together eggs and sugar until frothy. Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, and mix until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when gently touched.
  2. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle powdered sugar on the towel. Flip the cake onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper.
  3. Roll the cake up tightly in the towel, starting from the shorter side. Let it cool completely.
Making the Filling
  1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until smooth and creamy.
Assembly
  1. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and roll it back up without the towel.
  2. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before slicing.

Notes

Serve with a sprinkling of extra powdered sugar and a side of hot apple cider or chilled milk for a delightful experience.
