Ingredients
3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup (150g) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
6 ounces (170g) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar (for filling and dusting)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and pumpkin puree until well combined.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
Immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, peel off the parchment, and roll the cake up tightly with the towel.
Let the cake cool completely in the rolled position.
Beat cream cheese, butter, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Unroll the cooled cake, spread evenly with the frosting, then roll back up without the towel.
Chill before slicing.
Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to avoid cracking when rolling. Do not overbake the sponge as it will become brittle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
