This pumpkin roll cake is truly irresistible, and deliciously moist with a heavenly cream cheese filling. A classic Fall dessert that everyone will love!
This pumpkin roll is always a huge holiday hit like my Mini Pumpkin Pie Bites and this Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake! Even non-pumpkin lovers love this one, nobody can resist that sweet cream cheese filling.
It's not Fall without a pumpkin roll cake and some Pumpkin Muffins, this will become the new favorite that you make year after year. It's so good it will be gone in seconds!
Tips for making a pumpkin roll
- Make sure you get 100% pumpkin pie puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- A jelly roll pan is needed for the best results.
- Make sure you use parchment paper to roll your cake.
- You need to roll the cake right away. I let it cool for 2-3 minutes then I carefully roll it. It will be warm so be careful. Once you get it rolling you can use a small dishtowel if it's too hot.
- You must let the cake cool for 2 hours or else the frosting will just melt as it goes on
- Then once the cake is frosted chill for another hour, to firm it up for the perfect slice
- Dust the top with confectioners sugar for a beautiful finish
- You can use 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of using cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves like I used
- It's okay if it cracks a little while unrolling it.
How do I store a pumpkin roll?
Wrap the pumpkin roll in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Can I freeze a pumpkin roll?
Yes! A pumpkin roll can be frozen for at least a month. When ready to use, thaw for about an hour before cutting.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cups canned pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Cream Cheese Filling
- 1-8 ounce pkg cream cheese at room temp
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, spray a 10x15 jelly roll pan with non-stick cooking spray, and place your parchment paper on top. (Helps hold the paper in place when you pour the batter.)
In a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves and whisk until combined.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer beat sugar, and eggs until creamy. then add in pumpkin, and vanilla and mix just until combined.
Using a spoon mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture until combined.
Pour batter onto prepared parchment paper.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until cake springs back when touched.
Remove from oven and while the cake is hot (use a small dishtowel if it's too hot), grab the parchment paper the cake was baked on and start at the shorter end of the cake to slowly roll the cake up. Set the cake aside to cool completely for about 2 hours.
Prepare filling in a medium bowl using a hand mixer beat softened cream cheese, sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Slowly unroll the cake, spread filling over the cake evenly. Re-roll cake from one end to the other (don’t roll the parchment paper this time.) Wrap cake in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and slice!

Notes

This says its supposed to be garlic parmesan dinner rolls and it comes up as a pumpkin roll. Very disappointing. I really wanted the dinner roll recipe.
