Pumpkin Roll

[wowie]

since I can't find Mike's pumpkin cheesecake recipe, here's another yummy pumpkin dessert...

Pumpkin Roll

3 eggs, beaten 5 minutes
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup pumpkin, canned

FILLING:

1 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add remaining ingredients to beaten eggs. Pour into well greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with 1 cup chopped pecans. Bake 15-20 minutes at 375 F. Turn out on a tea towel. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Roll into a roll. Let cool.
Filling: Mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla.

When cake is completely cool, unroll cake and spread on filling. Remove towel, roll back into a roll.

These freeze well if you want to make a double batch. :)

Ooooh, and it sounds really easy to make too. :) I need to try that. Hm.. Not sure we have canned pumpkin in Sweden though. Would fresh be fine, and would I have to prepare it somehow before tossing it in?

I would think fresh pumpkin would work fine - let me know the results!

I'll try with the fresh then! I'm going to bribe my dad into picking one up, and hopefully I'll be able to try it during the weekend. Will definitely report back. :)

I think Paula Deen adapted her recipe (the one I posted today) from this. This must have a nice presentation!

Like you said, it's almost more of a spice taste with this too than just a pumpkin-y sort of taste.

Reminds me of a "Yule Log" you make at Christmas!

Sounds very good, adding it to my memories :)

I made one of those for the first time last Christmas and it was soooo good! Wish I had some now. :)
