Good afternoon, Punkins. I am on a roll- a Pumpkin Roll that is !
So grab your apron and let's head to the kitchen! We have fall baking to do !
I pulled out a fall apron for the baking season. |
I'll pull out the ingredients. Can you grab a mixing bowl or two? Oh, and do not forget the parchment paper and tea towel.
My ingredients are all gathered.
And here is the recipe.
PUMPKIN ROLL
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of sugar
2/3 cups of pumpkin puree
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons butter softened
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 10" x 15" jelly roll pan. Blend sugar, pumpkin, eggs and cinnamon. In another bowl mix flour, baking soda. Add to pumpkin mix. Blend till smooth. Spread on to prepared pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched. You can do the toothpick test as well. Baking time will vary depending on oven. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven ,invert onto towel. Roll cake in towel with seam side down. Cool completely on a baking rack. In another bowl beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla until smooth. When cake has cooled unroll from towel spread filling over cake. Roll cake up . Place in plastic wrap and refrigerate . Sift powdered sugar on it before serving.
Doesn't the batter already look yummy? Excuse me if I sneak a taste.๐๐
Spread the batter evenly on the jelly roll pan.
I placed parchment paper down for easy clean up . I sprayed it with non stick cooking spray.
I better not forget to tap the pan a couple of time on the counter just to settle the pumpkin mix .
While the Pumpkin Roll is baking, let me show you my newest finish-
Four Wonky Pumpkins Mini Quilt.
I pieced this little quilt last year. I had 4 small orange scraps begging to be used and in no time flat I pieced this simple little quilt .
As soon as it was pieced , the sweet quilt made its way into a basket until the other day.
It took only a few hours to hand quilt it and bind it. Now why didn't I finish it last year? Lol I don't know, but it is complete now and ready for fall display.
Alrighty, y'all! Mmm! Mmm! The smell from the kitchen is divine. The roll has come out of the oven. I inverted it onto a tea towel, removed the parchment paper and rolled it tightly . (Well I have to confess in the middle of this process I received a phone call- so not as tight as I would have liked) . Let the cake cool completely before filling it. When you are ready to fill, simply unroll, add the cream cheese filling to the center and smooth to about 1/2 inch to the edges in order to prevent as much cream cheese from oozing out so much when you roll. Once you roll, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Your pumpkin roll can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or you can freeze them up to a month.
I do believe our pumpkin roll is cool. Let's have a slice. Oh yum!
Goodness those swirls are terrible. Remember , I was chatting away on the phone. Lol. I have to tell you that I have a personal preference for my pumpkin roll to be undercooked . When it is chilled it is so moist and delicious especially after sitting for a day or two in the fridge, but that is just a personal preference and is not noted in the recipe. I will try to take a better photo with the next roll.
I am so delighted you joined me today and thank you for helping me with the fall baking; it sure made the task a joy for me. Now let's eat some cake! Have an awesome evening!
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

I pulled out one of my vintage tea towels for the harvest season. Do you collect old calendar tea towels?
