Description

This Easy Homemade Pumpkin Roll is a no-fail beginner-friendly recipe that creates a soft, moist pumpkin cake wrapped around a smooth cream cheese filling. With simple steps and quick baking time, you’ll have a beautiful roll that slices perfectly and tastes like fall in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugar: Beat eggs and granulated sugar together until thick, pale, and creamy.
  4. Add Pumpkin: Stir in pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Combine: Gently fold dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Bake: Spread batter evenly into the lined pan. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
  7. Roll While Warm: Dust a clean towel with powdered sugar. Turn the warm cake onto the towel and roll from the short end. Allow to cool completely.
  8. Make Filling: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  9. Assemble: Unroll the cooled cake, spread evenly with cream cheese filling, then roll back up without the towel. Trim ends if desired.
  10. Chill and Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, chill for 30 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking. Chill before slicing for tight, clean swirls. Cake freezes well for up to two months.
