Pumpkin Roll

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had something more halloween-y to post for today, but I don't. Fall reminds me of pumpkin (which I actually pronounce "punkin" and keep wanting to type that.) and my favorite dessert with it are pumpkin rolls! Something about the pumpkin and cream cheese inside together... mmmmmmm. I'm having a hard time not eating the entire thing.


Pumpkin Roll
Adapted from Libby's

3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened a bit
1 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 10x15 (i didn't have so i used 9x13) pan, and line with waxed paper. Grease and flour paper.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl until thick. Beat in pumpkin. Stir in flour mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched, but doesn't stick to your finger. Immediately loosen and turn cake over onto a dish towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. carefully peel off wax paper. Roll up the cake and towel together, and let cool.
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Unroll cooled cake, and spread cream cheese mixture over cake. Reroll cake without towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in refrigerator for at least one hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
