Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (32g) powdered sugar (to sprinkle on towel)
- 3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup (105g) walnuts (chopped, optional)
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1/2 stick(4 tbsp, 56g) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)
- 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar (plus extra to decorate the cake)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF/190ยฐC. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Set aside and prepare a clean tea towel sprinkled with powdered sugar (you will use this to roll the warm cake when it comes out of the oven).
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. To ensure that the ingredients are well mixed, you can sift them all through a fine mesh sieve. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl, with a hand mixer), beat together the sugar with the eggs and pumpkin puree until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped nuts if using.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared jelly roll pan, and bake for 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted to the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and immediately loosen from the pan and turn into the prepared tea towel, carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake along with the towel and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, make the cream cheese frosting: Beat together the cream cheese and butter, add vanilla, spice and powdered sugar and beat again until creamy.
- Carefully unroll the cake roll not to tear, and spread the frosting over the cake.
- Reroll tightly. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour, until ready to serve. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
