pumpkin cake roll with cream cheese filling
This recipe appeared in an article in the Springfield, OH News-Sun newspaper on December 11, 1980 and was offered by a Mrs. Ellen Rhodeback of Enon, OH. I still have the crispy and yellowed original article cut out of the newspaper, but I thought it was time to type it up, so why not share it with everyone? I have made this over several holiday seasons, and it really is a hit. She says that fresh or canned pumpkin can be used in this recipe. These can be made ahead, frozen, and thawed in the refrigerator in a few hours. Thank you, Mrs. Rhodeback, wherever you are!

How To Make pumpkin cake roll with cream cheese filling
-
1Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
-
2Beat the eggs at high speed for 5 minutes.
-
3Gradually beat in sugar.
-
4Stir in pumpkin and lemon juice. Orange juice can be substituted for the lemon juice if necessary.
-
5Fold dry ingredients into the pumpkin mix, making certain all the flour is stirred in well, otherwise the cake will have holes in it.
-
6Grease and flour a 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 2 1/2" jelly roll pan and pour batter into the pan. TIP: Line the jelly roll pan with waxed paper before pouring the batter in. This makes for easier removal once it's finished baking and easier flipping in Step 9.
-
7Top with 1 cup of finely chopped walnuts.
-
8Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
-
9Flip the cake onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
-
10If you used waxed paper to line the pan, peel it off, then starting at a narrow end of the cake, roll the towel and cake together, pressing lightly as you roll. Let it rest on a cooling rack for 1 1/2 hours.
-
11Make the filling using the recipe above.
-
12After it has cooled completely, unroll the cake, remove the towel, spread the filling over the cake, then roll it up again, then chill.
