Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup (95 g) gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup (165 g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (227 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt together.
  2. Beat eggs on high until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add granulated sugar gradually, beat 2 minutes more. Mix in pumpkin puree and 1 tsp vanilla on low. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. Pour batter into pan, spread evenly, and bake 13 to 15 minutes until the top springs back.
  4. Dust a clean kitchen towel heavily with powdered sugar. Invert the hot cake onto the towel, peel off parchment, and roll the cake and towel together from a short side. Cool completely on a rack.
  5. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Sift in powdered sugar and add 1/2 tsp vanilla, then beat on high until fluffy, about 1 minute.
  6. Unroll the cooled cake. Spread filling evenly to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Re-roll without the towel, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  7. Unwrap, trim ends, slice with a serrated knife, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Cooling the rolled cake completely before filling is important; warm cake melts the cream cheese. A full 1-hour chill after assembling makes slicing cleaner. If you freeze the roll, thaw it slowly in the fridge so the filling does not sweat.
