Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 10×15-inch pan, then line with parchment paper and grease again.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a bowl until uniform.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 18 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
Immediately turn the cake out onto a sugar-dusted towel and roll it up while warm to set the shape.
Cool completely, then unroll carefully.
Spread the softened cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
Re-roll the cake, slice, and serve.
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened to room temperature for a lump-free filling. Rolling the cake while it is still warm is the secret to preventing cracks. If the cake feels brittle, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
