Method
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a 15 by 10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt into a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla to the egg mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out to the edges.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until set but still soft.
- Remove the cake from the oven and run a knife around the edges.
- Sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar, then invert the cake onto the towel and peel away the parchment paper.
- Roll the warm cake tightly in the towel from one short end.
- Let the cake cool completely rolled in the towel for at least 30 minutes.
- While the cake cools, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the surface.
- Roll the cake tightly back up without the towel and place seam-side down on a serving plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve slices as an elegant after-dinner treat or pair with coffee and whipped cream.
