Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (freshly ground if possible)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided (split between yolks and whites)
  • ⅓ cup canned pumpkin puree (plain, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 to cups powdered sugar (adjust to sweetness preference)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  • Sift together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with ½ cup sugar until pale and thick (3-4 minutes). Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining ¼ cup sugar and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture, then gently fold in the egg whites in two batches until light and airy.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, spread smoothly, and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake springs back lightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Immediately invert cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off parchment paper. Roll the cake and towel together from the short edge to pre-roll and keep it soft.
  • Allow the rolled cake to cool completely on a rack for about 1 hour.
  • Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating well after each addition.
  • Unroll the cooled cake gently, spread cream cheese filling evenly, then carefully roll it back up without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.
