For the last 8 years my friends and I have religiously reserved a night in November to make pumpkin rolls. The process of making Pumpkin Rolls is NOT an easy task & not a recipe one can make alone. You need friends, snacks & wine. Once made though they make your life easier. Pull one out of the freezer, hop in the car and go to that Holiday party, Thanksgiving dinner or hanging with some friends.
This year we had a real treat because my sister recently purchased a home with DOUBLE OVENS! What usually takes us 4-5 hours (we make around 20) was done in 3 this year leaving us more time to hang out, catch up & partake in our newly baked goodies.
Below is the actual Pumpkin Roll recipe & some pictures of this years event. We make a mess but the outcome is worth it and everyone loves our Pumpkin Rolls.
Pumpkin Roll Recipe:
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2/3 cup Pumpkin
- 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Filling:
- 8 ounces Cream cheese -- softened
- 4 tablespoons Butter -- or margarine
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Preparation:
in large bowl, combine eggs and sugar, beating well. Add pumpkin, mixing until blended. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to egg mixture, mixing well. Spread batter into greased and waxed-paper lined 10-by-15-inch jelly-roll pan.
Bake at 350 ° for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool for 15 minutes. Place cake on clean tea towel sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar. Cool 10 minutes longer. From 10- inch side, roll cake up in towel. Set aside. While cake is cooling in towel, prepare filling. Beat together cream cheese and butter; stir in powdered sugar and vanilla and blend until smooth.
Unroll cake. Evenly spread filling over cake. Roll up cake (without the towel). Wrap in plastic wrap. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Slice before serving. Keep leftover slices refrigerated. This pumpkin roll freezes well.
